Alexander Isak completed a British-record transfer to Liverpool for 130 million. Agent Vlado Lemic, who has brokered numerous high-profile moves, facilitated the deal. Lemic has a history of arranging major transfers including players linked to Chelsea, Real Madrid, Anzhi and Tottenham. The agent offered a cryptic public remark after the transfer, suggesting relief at distancing from certain parties. The comment appears to reference tensions and a summer-long dispute between Lemic, Isak and Newcastle United's board that was resolved only when the transfer was completed on deadline day.

The Croatian-born intermediary has brokered several high-profile transfers throughout his career as a football agent, although few will be as lucrative as the 130 million transfer which has seen Isak join Liverpool for a British record fee.
Lemic was approached for comment by talkSPORT host and journalist Jim White, the morning after Isak's Liverpool arrival was announced late into the evening on transfer deadline day.

The agent's comments could be seen to refer to the Newcastle hierarchy, whom Lemic and Isak clashed with over the summer prior to resolving the dispute with a transfer late in the window.
Royston Drenthe's 2007 switch from Feyenoord to Real Madrid, Branislav Ivanovic's transfer to Chelsea, Samuel Eto'o's move to Anzhi Makhachkala and Luka Modric's Tottenham Hotspur departure for The Galacticos in 2012 have all been credited to Isak's representative.
