Isak Gets Liverpool Green Light
Liverpool have reportedly been given the go-ahead to submit a £130 million bid for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. This development marks a significant escalation in the transfer saga, especially after the forward’s fiery public declaration about wanting to leave St. James’ Park.
Liverpool’s Record-Breaking Bid
The Anfield hierarchy has approved a £130 million proposal for Isak, a fee that would break the British transfer record. This would surpass Liverpool’s earlier record signing of Florian Wirtz earlier in the summer. The new offer comes after Newcastle rejected an initial bid believed to be around £110 million.
Isak’s Explosive Statement
Tensions escalated on Tuesday when Isak took to social media, expressing his dissatisfaction with Newcastle. He accused the club of breaking promises and claimed that trust had completely broken down, arguing that a separation would benefit everyone. His outspoken remarks, described as “explosive,” are said to have accelerated Liverpool’s pursuit.
Newcastle’s Response
In reply, Newcastle United reaffirmed their stance, stressing that Isak remains under contract and that no formal agreement had ever been made to allow his departure this summer. The club insisted they intend to keep hold of their top players and maintain the strong unity within the squad. Newcastle also made it clear that Isak will be welcomed back once he is ready to rejoin the team.
