Newcastle United
striker Alexander Isak has reportedly informed the club that he wants to explore a potential transfer away this summer. This was broken this afternoon by Craig Hope of the Daily Mail, following the news earlier that Isak was not travelling to Singapore with the rest of Newcastle’s squad for pre-season. There have now been further updates on the Sweden international’s situation, and it’s precisely what Newcastle fans did not want to hear. See below as Fabrizio Romano has also added his information that Liverpool remain keen on Isak, even with the signing of Hugo Ekitike, whose arrival was confirmed yesterday…
Prema pisanju Craiga Hopea iz Daily Mail-a, napadač Newcastle Uniteda Alexander Isak je navodno informisao klub da želi istražiti mogućnost transfera ovog ljeta.
?? Understand Alexander Isak remains a target for Liverpool even after signing Ekitike… but depends on Newcastle. If Newcastle open doors to an exit and #LFC sell Diaz, they can bid after direct contact made 10 days ago. Isak, ??? in concrete talks with Al Hilal so far. Romano objavio: “Razumijem da Liverpool još uvijek ima Isaka na meti čak i nakon potpisivanja Ekitikea… ali sve zavisi od Newcastlea. Ako Newcastle otvore vrata za odlazak i #LFC prodaju Diaza, mogu ponuditi nakon što je napravljen direktni kontakt prije 10 dana. Isak, ??? nalazi se u konkretnim razgovorima sa Al Hilalom do sada.”
Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) je 24. jula 2025. godine objavio: “Razumijem da Liverpool još uvijek ima Isaka na meti čak i nakon potpisivanja Ekitikea… ali sve zavisi od Newcastlea. Ako Newcastle otvore vrata za odlazak i #LFC prodaju Diaza, mogu ponuditi nakon što je napravljen direktni kontakt prije 10 dana. Isak, ??? ne vodi konkretne razgovore sa Al Hilalom do sada.”
With the signing of Ekitike, it looked like that would surely spell the end of what already looked like a hugely ambitious deal for Liverpool to sign Isak. However, today’s bombshell update on the 25-year-old pushing to leave Newcastle has surely changed everything. Romano says LFC remain keen, and it could be that they’ll be able to raise some of the funds for this deal by selling Luis Diaz. Liverpool are arguably already the clear favourites for the Premier League title after such a strong summer transfer window in which Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez have joined. The Merseyside giants also took the crucial steps of tying star duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk down to new contracts. If they can also end up adding Isak to Arne Slot’s squad, it’s very hard to see how anyone is going to come close to this Liverpool side in 2025/26, both domestically and in Europe.
S potpisivanjem Ekitikea, izgledalo je kao da će to sigurno označiti kraj onoga što već izgleda kao ogroman posao za Liverpul da potpiše Isaka. Međutim, današnje iznenađujuće ažuriranje o 25-godišnjaku koji gura da napusti Newcastle sigurno je promijenilo sve. Romano kaže da LFC ostaje zainteresovan, i moglo bi se desiti da će moći povećati dio sredstava za ovaj posao prodajom Luisa Diaza. Liverpul je već sada, nakon jakog ljetnog prelaznog roka na kojem su se pridružili Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong i Milos Kerkez, očigledan favorit za osvajanje titule u Premijer ligi. Giganti iz Merseysidea također su poduzeli ključne korake vezivanjem zvjezdanog dvojca Mohamed Salah i Virgil van Dijk za nove ugovore. Ako uspiju dodati Isaka u ekipu Arnea Slota, vrlo je teško vidjeti da će ijedan klub biti blizu ovom Liverpulu u sezoni 2025/26, kako u domaćim takmičenjima, tako i u Evropi.
