- Newcastle ready to offer record deal to Alexander Isak to block transfer interest
- The striker currently earns £150,000 per week with a contract until 2028
- Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona closely monitoring the situation
Key Takeaways:
Newcastle are ready to offer a record-breaking contract to Alexander Isak in an effort to fend off interest in the Swedish striker. According to The Times, the Magpies will put forward a deal that would make Isak the highest-paid player in the club’s history. The forward currently earns £150,000 per week, and his existing contract runs until the summer of 2028. However, the report does not specify the exact financial terms of the proposed new deal, which is intended to secure Isak’s future at St. James’ Park.
Liverpool have the funds to test Newcastle’s resolve for Alexander Isak, despite the acquisition of Florian Wirtz for a British-record fee that could rise to £116million and a summer spend that has already reached £200million.

Liverpool have shown strong interest in the striker, who scored 27 goals last season. Arsenal and Barcelona are also closely monitoring the situation of the 25-year-old, who was signed from Real Sociedad for £63 million.
The same source claims Newcastle are seriously concerned that Liverpool have the financial power to make a major offer for Isak, despite already breaking their transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz. There are fears at St. James’ Park that the Anfield club may make a formal move as early as the start of next month.
