Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle United is beginning to stir serious debate, as the Swedish striker becomes one of the most talked-about names in this summer’s transfer window. With Liverpool reportedly monitoring his situation closely, Newcastle fans are bracing for what could be a dramatic twist in their club’s attacking plans. Despite speculation about a potential £120 million move to Anfield, no formal offer has landed—yet the interest is very real.
Isak is currently sidelined from Newcastle’s preseason tour due to a thigh injury, adding to the mystery surrounding his next step. Manager Eddie Howe has admitted that while he hopes the striker stays, the final decision might be out of his hands. Interestingly, there’s been no movement on a new contract, and insiders say Isak is quietly weighing his options, though he hasn’t submitted a transfer request.
While Saudi club Al-Hilal reportedly dangled a mouthwatering deal in front of him, worth over £30 million annually, Isak made it clear he still wants to compete at the highest level in Europe. Newcastle, for their part, have set a sky-high valuation—well above £100 million—which could scare off most suitors, but Liverpool’s need for a dynamic forward might push them to test the waters.
As things stand, Isak remains a Newcastle player with three years left on his contract, but the noise surrounding his future grows louder by the day. Should he stay, the Magpies have a proven Premier League star. If he leaves, it could set off a domino effect across the summer market. Either way, the next few weeks could define the next chapter of both Isak’s career and Newcastle’s ambitions.
