Liverpool Make Record-Breaking £120M Bid for Newcastle Star Alexander Isak
Liverpool have taken bold steps in the transfer market by making a £120 million offer to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The move is part of Arne Slot’s strategy to strengthen the team’s attacking options ahead of the new season. Having already signed Florian Wirtz to boost the midfield, the club now sets its sights on reinforcing the frontline with one of the Premier League’s most promising forwards.

The Merseyside club initiated direct talks with Newcastle, signaling serious intent to secure the Swedish striker. However, Newcastle are reportedly hesitant to sell their prized asset and are even considering offering him a new contract to ensure he stays at St. James’ Park. If their offer is ultimately rejected, Liverpool are prepared to shift their attention to Hugo Ekitike, a young forward currently playing for Eintracht Frankfurt, who is also on Arsenal’s radar.

Should the deal go through, it would mark the second time Liverpool break their own transfer record in the same summer, underlining the club’s aggressive approach to rebuilding the squad. The proposed fee highlights how highly Liverpool rate Isak and their determination to secure his services before the season kicks off.

Isak had a standout season with Newcastle, playing a key role in ending the club’s 70-year trophy drought by helping them win the 2024-25 Carabao Cup. He finished the campaign with an impressive tally of 27 goals and six assists in 42 appearances, including a goal in the final against Liverpool—an achievement that clearly left a lasting impression on his current suitors.
