Newcastle United have turned down a major transfer offer from Liverpool for their star striker Alexander Isak, reportedly worth £120 million. The Magpies are unwilling to entertain any bids unless they meet or exceed their £150 million valuation, making it clear that the Swedish international is not available on the cheap—especially to a Premier League rival.
The club’s owners, backed by Saudi investment, remain firm in their stance. Sources close to the club indicate that Newcastle views Isak as a central figure in their long-term plans under Eddie Howe. Selling him to a domestic contender is not part of their strategy, particularly with Champions League football back on the cards for the Tyneside outfit this season.
Meanwhile, Isak’s current situation has sparked more transfer speculation as he continues light training in Spain, officially recovering from a minor thigh concern. However, some reports suggest the player is unsettled and may not be eager to renew his contract with Newcastle, potentially leaving the door open for future negotiations—though not on Liverpool’s current terms.
Liverpool, who are keen on strengthening their attacking options following recent departures, may now be forced to look elsewhere. The Reds are monitoring other talents across Europe, but they haven’t completely shut the door on a second attempt—depending on how the saga unfolds in the coming weeks.
