Liverpool’s £110M Bid for Alexander Isak Rejected by Newcastle United Amid Transfer Tension

Newcastle United have officially rejected a £110 million bid from Liverpool for star striker Alexander Isak, as the Magpies hold out for a record-breaking fee in excess of £150 million. The decision intensifies speculation around Isak’s future amid growing Premier League and international interest.

The 24-year-old Swedish forward, who has scored 54 Premier League goals in the last three seasons, has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after attacking talents. With three years remaining on his current contract, Newcastle remain firm in their valuation and insist that Isak is not for sale—unless their financial demands are fully met.

Isak Training Alone Amid Transfer Uncertainty

Alexander Isak has made his intention to leave Tyneside clear, reportedly agreeing personal terms with Liverpool. The striker was left out of Newcastle’s pre-season squad and is currently training alone at his former club, Real Sociedad, as negotiations and speculation continue.

Despite their firm stance, Newcastle's ongoing search for a new striker signals they may be preparing for life without Isak—though only if a suitable replacement is secured before any deal is finalized.

Liverpool Eyeing Isak as Diaz Replacement

Liverpool's £110 million offer comes just weeks after completing a £100 million deal for German midfielder Florian Wirtz. The Reds are looking to reinvest after the recent €75 million departure of winger Luis Díaz to the Saudi Pro League. With Isak reportedly focused on a move to Anfield despite interest from Middle Eastern clubs, Liverpool are expected to return with an improved bid.

Newcastle Hold Firm on British-Record Valuation

Newcastle’s valuation of Isak would set a new British transfer record, surpassing deals such as Moisés Caicedo’s £115 million move to Chelsea. Club sources insist any agreement must reflect Isak’s age, contract length, and consistent Premier League performance.
