Liverpool Reportedly Secure £130m Deal for Alexander Isak

Liverpool are said to have finalized a deal to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, with reports suggesting a £130 million fee has been agreed for the Swedish international.

The news comes shortly after Newcastle completed the signing of Nick Woltemade, previously linked with Bayern Munich, hinting at a possible succession plan.

Is the Transfer Confirmed?
According to Viaplay’s Jan Aage Fjortoft via X (formerly Twitter), the transfer is “done.” However, an official announcement is expected to be held off until after Newcastle’s Premier League match against newly promoted Leeds United, scheduled for 5:30pm this Saturday.

At this stage, no Merseyside or Tyneside-based journalists have confirmed the deal, though it’s notable that none have dismissed the reports either.

Newcastle’s move for Woltemade had already sparked speculation that Isak might be allowed to leave, and the door now appears to be open for Liverpool.

Should Newcastle also make progress in their efforts to sign Wolves striker Jørgen Strand Larsen, it becomes increasingly likely that Isak will make the switch to Anfield before the window closes.

Liverpool Prepared to Raise Offer
Reports from within Liverpool suggest the club is ready to improve upon its initial £110m bid—a record-breaking offer for a British transfer. While the opening bid was met with criticism online, sources close to the club insist it was merely a starting point to initiate discussions.

It was never expected that Newcastle would accept the first offer, nor was it likely Liverpool would immediately meet the full £150m valuation. Settling at £130m would still mark a significant outlay for one of the Premier League’s top forwards, while ensuring Newcastle receive strong value for their asset.

Conflicting Reports on Final Price
Updates from journalists Ben Jacobs and Alex Crook claim that Liverpool are reluctant to push the final fee all the way to £130m. Still, given the club’s focus on Isak as their sole attacking target, it’s hard to see them pulling out now, especially with the deadline fast approaching.

Further Transfers Unlikely
According to The Daily Mail’s Dominic King, it’s increasingly unlikely that Liverpool will make additional signings before the window closes on Monday. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has ruled out a move for Marc Guehi, reinforcing the idea that Isak may be Liverpool’s final incoming player this summer.

With Newcastle already securing a potential replacement and a club-record bid on the table, it seems increasingly plausible that Alexander Isak will be wearing a Liverpool shirt very soon.
