Here’s what’s known from reputable reports regarding weekly wages for Liverpool players and how Alexander Isak’s salary compares to Mohamed Salah’s and Virgil van Dijk’s:

Alexander Isak Becomes Liverpool’s Record Signing

Alexander Isak has officially joined Liverpool in a record-breaking £125 million transfer from Newcastle on deadline day—making him not only the club’s most expensive signing ever but also the priciest in British football history (Sky Sports). The move underscores Liverpool’s immense belief in the 25-year-old striker to thrive under new manager Arne Slot.

Isak’s Weekly Wage at Liverpool

According to GIVEMESPORT, Isak will earn £250,000 per week at Liverpool, equating to £13 million annually and potentially £78 million over his six-year deal. This is more than double the £120,000 per week he was earning at Newcastle.

Despite the significant salary hike, Isak won’t be Liverpool’s top earner. As per Capology, he ranks third in the wage structure behind:

Mohamed Salah – £400,000/week

Virgil van Dijk – £350,000/week

He’s followed by fellow summer signings:

Hugo Ekitike – £200,000/week

Florian Wirtz – £195,000/week

High Expectations from Day One

With Liverpool splashing out heavily in this transfer window—bringing in three of their top five earners—the club’s intent to remain at the top is clear. This aggressive spending contrasts sharply with the more cautious transfer strategies of 2019 and 2020, following major successes under Jürgen Klopp.

Given the hefty price tag and his Premier League experience, Isak will be under pressure to deliver immediately. There won’t be much patience for a gradual adjustment period, especially after the way he forced his exit from Newcastle—a move that has left many on Tyneside bitter.

Now that the deal is finalized, Liverpool’s new number 9 can focus on proving his worth—starting with the upcoming clash against Burnley next weekend.
