The club’s management currently does not know the player’s whereabouts. According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have reached an agreement with Isak on personal terms. The Merseyside club have submitted a transfer offer worth nearly €140 million for the forward.
Isak had an outstanding 2024/25 campaign, registering 27 goals and 6 assists across 42 appearances in all competitions. His form has attracted interest from several European powerhouses, but Liverpool have taken concrete steps to secure his signature. Transfermarkt currently values the Swede at €120 million, while his contract with Newcastle runs until 30 June 2028.
Despite the lucrative offer and the player’s clear desire to move, Newcastle remain hesitant to part ways with one of their most valuable assets. Eddie Howe had previously insisted that the club were not planning to sell Isak and viewed him as central to their future plans. However, the player’s no-show could mark a turning point in the saga, as tensions between the club and the striker appear to be escalating.
