Less than 24 hours remain before the English Premier League summer transfer window closes at 4am AEST on Tuesday 2 September. Liverpool have agreed a British-record £130m ($A268m) deal with Newcastle United for striker Alexander Isak. Isak is set to travel to Liverpool for a medical and will join on a six-year contract. Newcastle had sought £150m and Isak publicly voiced a desire to leave, having not featured this season despite a contract until 2028. Liverpool previously spent £116m on Florian Wirtz and £79m on Hugo Ekitike. Newcastle are targeting Brentford's Yoane Wissa and Wolverhampton's Jorgen Strand Larsen as replacements.
According to multiple reports out of the UK, Newcastle United has agreed to a British record £130m ($A268m) deal with Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak. Isak is set to travel to Liverpool on Tuesday for a medical but a full agreement is reportedly in place to see the Swedish striker link up with the Premier League champions on a six-year contract.
The deal surpasses the £115m ($A237m) Chelsea paid Brighton for Moises Caicedo in the summer of 2023. Newcastle were reportedly holding out for £150 million ($A310m) for Isak, who publicly voiced his desire to leave and was yet to feature this season despite being under contract with Newcastle until 2028. Isak's arrival continues a spending spree for Liverpool, who spent £116 million ($A240m) with add-ons (AU$241 million) on German midfielder Florian Wirtz, plus £79 million (AU$164 million) for French forward Hugo Ekitike.
