Alexander Isak Transfer Update
A significant update on the Alexander Isak transfer saga emerged just hours before Newcastle United’s match against Leeds United.
The 25-year-old striker has been the subject of intense speculation over the past few weeks, repeatedly linked with a move away from St. James’ Park. While Newcastle has consistently maintained that Isak is not for sale, tensions escalated when the player himself posted on social media, suggesting that certain “promises” made by the club had not been fulfilled—a clear signal of his desire to leave.
Earlier in the transfer window, Liverpool had an initial bid rejected, but the club may now be preparing to return with an improved offer. Newcastle’s recent acquisition of Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart has only fueled rumors that the Magpies are planning for life without Isak.
Ahead of Newcastle’s Premier League clash with Leeds on Saturday evening, journalist Jan Aage Fjørtoft shared a major update on social media, indicating that a deal for Isak to join Liverpool is essentially complete. He reported that the transfer fee would be around £130 million and suggested that the move is likely to happen very soon.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe admitted that the ongoing speculation regarding Isak’s future is largely out of his control. He explained that he must focus on the players available to him and on achieving results.
“I’ve felt for a long time that if I dwell on the Alex situation, it will take energy away from the 25–30 players who need my full attention,” Howe said. “The team needs me focused on results, and that’s exactly what I’ve tried to do.”
Howe emphasized that others within the club are handling the transfer, allowing him to concentrate on preparing the squad. He also praised his players for managing the uncertainty well, noting that once the season begins, the focus naturally shifts and the team adapts to outside distractions.
