Newcastle United have rejected Liverpool’s £110 million bid for striker Alexander Isak, demanding over £150 million.
Despite Isak’s interest in a move, the Magpies won’t sell without a record-breaking offer and replacement.
Newcastle United have turned down a £110 million bid from Liverpool for star striker Alexander Isak, making it clear that any potential transfer will require a record-breaking fee exceeding £150 million.
Despite Isak’s growing desire to leave the club this summer, Newcastle has maintained a firm stance that the Swedish forward is not for sale, at least not without a suitable replacement in place. Sources close to the club indicate that Newcastle’s valuation of Isak could break the British transfer record, underlining their reluctance to let go of one of the Premier League’s most prolific scorers.
The 24-year-old, who has netted 54 league goals over the past three seasons, was notably absent from Newcastle’s pre-season squad. He has reportedly been training alone at his former club, Real Sociedad, while his future remains uncertain. The decision to exclude him from pre-season activities has further fueled speculation that a transfer is imminent.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Isak comes shortly after their £100 million acquisition of Florian Wirtz. The Reds are said to have already agreed on personal terms with Isak, who is keen on a move to Anfield despite interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.
The Merseyside club, having recently sold Colombian winger Luis Díaz in a deal worth up to €75 million, is expected to return with an improved offer as they seek to bolster their attack under new leadership ahead of the upcoming season.
Newcastle’s ongoing search for a new striker signals a level of preparation for Isak’s eventual exit, but club executives remain adamant that they will not be pressured into a sale below their valuation.
With three years left on his contract, Alexander Isak remains a prized asset, and any deal involving the forward will likely set a new benchmark in the English transfer market.
