Alexander Isak is reportedly confident about a potential move to Liverpool from Newcastle United this summer. Talks regarding a possible contract have occurred, according to TBR Football sources. Intermediaries from both clubs are actively working to shape a deal.
Liverpool will wait to make an official bid until there’s a strong indication of an agreement. The transfer fee is expected to be a British record, should Newcastle United accept the offer.
Liverpool prepared to offer lucrative deal to Newcastle United striker
Liverpool is allegedly prepared to offer Isak a weekly wage exceeding £300,000. These discussions have involved intermediaries. The proposed salary would position him behind only Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk within the Liverpool squad.
Graeme Bailey, TBR Football’s chief correspondent, reports a strong belief within Isak’s circle that his transfer to Liverpool will happen. The focus seems to be on when, rather than if.
Newcastle United insist on replacement before Alexander Isak sale
Newcastle United are firm that they won’t let Isak leave without securing a replacement. The club is reportedly taking steps to find a suitable player. Isak has apparently communicated his desire to leave, but Newcastle are determined to dictate the terms.
“Sources close to the situation have told me that things are progressing. Isak has made it clear he wants out, but Newcastle are insistent that this only happens on their terms,” Bailey states.
Alexander Isak camp confident of Liverpool switch
“There is an absolute confidence from Isak’s camp that he does move this summer, not overly and not cocky in any way, but they think this is progressing in the right way.”
Isak is currently training with Sociedad in anticipation of a move. Bailey indicates that this transfer now has momentum. Newcastle are expected back from Asia next week, at which point further progress is anticipated.
The coming days are crucial for both Liverpool and Newcastle United. Securing a replacement for Isak remains Newcastle’s priority. Liverpool’s pursuit of the striker could reshape their attacking options for the upcoming Premier League season.
