In a blockbuster transfer deal, Liverpool has agreed to sign Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a British record fee of around £130 million. The 25-year-old forward will join the Reds on a six-year contract, becoming the most expensive signing in Premier League history.
Isak, Newcastle’s top scorer last season with 23 league goals, had been embroiled in a transfer saga this summer. He skipped the Magpies’ pre-season tour and trained separately, citing the club’s breach of promises and misleading supporters. The strained relationship between Isak and Newcastle ultimately led to his departure.
The deal, finalized on the last day of the summer transfer window, sees Liverpool boost their attacking lineup with a prolific goal-scorer. Isak’s signing surpasses the £106 million Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez in 2023, setting a new benchmark for British transfers.
Key Details of the Transfer:
– Transfer Fee: £130 million, a British record fee
– Contract: Six-year deal with Liverpool
– Previous Club: Newcastle United
– Goals Last Season: 23 league goals for Newcastle
Isak’s arrival at Liverpool follows the club’s record-breaking signing of German midfielder Florian Wirtz for £100 million, plus £16 million in bonuses. With Isak, Liverpool’s summer spending exceeds £400 million, solidifying their position as a dominant force in the Premier League
