A major storm is brewing behind the scenes in the Premier League.
Newcastle United are reportedly considering legal action against Liverpool following claims of unauthorized contact with Alexander Isak’s representatives. According to internal sources, Liverpool have made informal approaches, expressing interest in the Swedish striker and showing willingness to negotiate a fee in the region of £120 million.
But here’s the issue:
These communications allegedly happened without Newcastle’s prior consent.
This has sparked serious concerns within the Newcastle board, who now believe Liverpool may have crossed an ethical line, possibly even violating tapping-up protocols an unwritten but heavily respected boundary in professional football.
As a result, Newcastle’s legal team is now reviewing the case, exploring options that could include:
Filing a formal complaint to the Premier League or FA
Seeking disciplinary action against Liverpool
Or pursuing legal redress for potential misconduct
The club sees the alleged approach as a breach of professional conduct not only undermining the transfer process but also disrupting squad harmony during a critical point in the preseason.
One insider put it bluntly:
“This isn’t how top-flight business should be done. If rules were bent, someone will have to answer for it.”
This could escalate into a major legal and regulatory showdown between two of England’s elite clubs and it’s happening just as the summer transfer window hits boiling point.
All eyes now turn to Liverpool: Will they respond? Will they back away? Or will this become football’s next legal battlefield?
