- ليفربول still interested in Isak despite Hugo Ekitike arrival
- £130m package possible if Diaz leaves Anfield this summer
- Isak prefers top-level football over الدوري السعودي للمحترفين يُحوّل
As per reports, Isak has formally told Newcastle متحد he wants to explore a move away, with Liverpool and Al-Hilal both showing interest. The Swedish striker missed the Magpies’ pre-season tour, officially due to injury, though speculation continues to rage about his future.
Liverpool have been in direct contact and are considering a bid if conditions align. As per Fabrizio Romano, despite securing the signing of Ekitike, the Reds still view Isak as a priority target. The transfer guru has added that the Reds are prepared to act if the Magpies agree to sell and if Diaz leaves Anfield.
The report also added that negotiations with Al-Hilal haven’t progressed as Isak prefers to continue playing in Europe. He is believed to be more open to joining a الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز side, especially the current champions. Newcastle remain reluctant to let their star forward go, but a £150 million ($203m) offer could change their approach. The Swedish striker is also reportedly pushing for a new contract worth around £ 300,000 per week if he stays.
Liverpool are monitoring the situation closely and may return with a formal offer if Newcastle shift their stance. Isak’s desire for top-level football makes a move to Merseyside more likely than Saudi Arabia. For now, Newcastle must decide whether to keep pushing for a contract extension or cash in.
