Liverpool will end up paying a jaw-dropping total cost of £300million for Alexander Isak.
Isak joined Liverpool in a £125million deal on deadline day (1 September) from Newcastle United following weeks of intense speculation surrounding his future.
However, the deal is believed to be worth £130million to Newcastle due to solidarity payments.
Isak is yet to feature in the Premier League this season, having refused to play for Eddie Howe’s side after initially seeing his move to Liverpool blocked.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “I think from Liverpool’s perspective, it’s a very expensive deal, but we know that.
You have got maybe £5million on Premier League levy.
“It’s a £300million deal over six years.
It’s a massively expensive deal, but he’s also a brilliant player.
