Liverpool remain determined to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak before the close of the 2025 summer transfer window, despite ongoing resistance from Newcastle. Isak has not played competitively for Newcastle this season and has publicly expressed his desire to leave the club, citing broken promises. Liverpool have reportedly made an initial offer of around £110 million, which Newcastle rejected, demanding £150 million instead. The club is simultaneously trying to find a replacement striker before approving any sale.
Newcastle's chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan recently appeared at St James' Park, rumored to be involved in finalizing Isak's transfer, while Newcastle continue negotiations to sign Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen as a potential Isak replacement. Strand Larsen’s club has turned down a £55 million bid from Newcastle. Liverpool, meanwhile, are also close to completing the signing of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
If Isak’s departure stalls, Liverpool have alternative targets, such as Real Madrid winger Rodrygo. Manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes remain focused on securing Isak, whom they regard as a world-class striker and a dream signing. Liverpool’s ambitions are heightened by plans for the future, including preparing to eventually replace Mohamed Salah with a top-tier forward.
Isak’s situation remains tense with no resolution yet, as Newcastle insist conditions for his transfer have not been met and seek a replacement before allowing him to leave. Meanwhile, the Sweden international has been training away from the first team and was named in Sweden’s national squad despite the transfer uncertainty. The final outcome is expected to unfold before the transfer deadline on September 1, with Liverpool reportedly ready to increase their offer but Newcastle holding firm on their valuation.
