Following weeks of tense standoffs and fierce negotiations, Liverpool and Newcastle finally reached agreement on a record-breaking £125 million ($169M) deal that will bring Isak to Anfield.

The expected signing has swiftly sent shockwaves across the Premier League, as Gary Neville warned of the impact that the 25-year-old’s presence on Liverpool will have.

Newcastle attempted to pull out all the stops in hopes of convincing Wolverhampton to part ways with Strand Larsen, offering to pay well over $80 million to acquire his talents.

The hefty sum would’ve marked the most expensive transfer ever involving a Norwegian player.

Yet Wolverhampton still refused to budge on Strand Larsen, who joined the national team on Monday for a private international match against Finland and subsequent World Cup qualifier against Moldova.

It didn’t take long for Newcastle to pivot in a different direction, as the club and Brentford came to a verbal agreement for the signing of Yoane Wissa.
