Newcastle United will earn around £130million from Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool after details of the transfer have been revealed.
Isak joined Liverpool in a £125million deal on deadline day (1 September) from Newcastle following weeks of intense speculation surrounding his future.
However, the deal is believed to be worth around £5million more to Eddie Howe’s side due to solidarity payments.
“I think the original leak was right, which I think was solidarity payments.
“I think what’s really happened is that Newcastle are going to get the £125million and Liverpool will take on what’s known as the solidarity payments that they have to pay to all of his previous clubs until he joined Newcastle.
“The solidarity payments partly would go to Newcastle, so they would net out about £5.5million, which Liverpool will pay.
“The forms do allow you to say, well, the net transfer fee is £125million and effectively we will take care of the solidarity payments to pay off.
