Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is reportedly close to joining Liverpool after reaching a verbal agreement on a long-term contract, according to Sky Sports Deutschland. While the clubs have yet to finalize a transfer fee, Isak’s willingness to move to Anfield is seen as a critical step toward completing the deal. The 25-year-old forward is said to be in line for a salary comparable to that of Liverpool’s recent signing Hugo Ekitiké. Newcastle are expected to demand a fee exceeding £100 million for Isak, who still has three years remaining on his contract.

Meanwhile, Newcastle is actively searching for Isak’s replacement and has targeted Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade. Woltemade, valued at around £40 million, became a transfer prospect for both Manchester United and Newcastle after talks between Stuttgart and Bayern Munich broke down. The Germany international had impressed at the UEFA Under-21 European Championship by finishing as the top scorer, making him a highly sought-after striker.

In other transfer news linked to Newcastle, discussions continue between Hoffenheim and Westerlo regarding the potential move of United States international Bryan Reynolds. Additionally, Stuttgart is exploring new options after their long-standing midfield target Giannis Konstantelias renewed his contract with PAOK until 2029, removing him from the transfer market.
