Liverpool have completed the signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a British-record fee of £125 million. An initial Liverpool bid of £110 million was rejected earlier in the summer. The public bid accelerated the player's push to leave Newcastle and he exerted pressure to force a move. Newcastle sought about £150 million but adjusted terms after signing Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart. Isak is expected to sign a six-year contract with Liverpool and become a central figure in the club's attacking overhaul. Medical tests are scheduled on deadline day.
Liverpool have finally got their man. The longest and most dramatic storyline of the summer transfer window has reached its end as Alexander Isak will make the move from Newcastle United to Liverpool for a new Premier League record £125 million. We saw an initial bid of £110m from the Reds get rejected earlier this summer. However, it was that very public bid that seemingly set things in motion on the player side to push for an exit.
For the second time this summer, Liverpool are setting a new British transfer record fee following the arrival of Florian Wirtz earlier in the window and now this move for Isak. Newcastle were looking for a bid in the range of £150m, but that valuation was always going to be difficult for a club to match, given how publicly the player was pushing for an exit. On the player side, Isak is expected to sign a six-year deal with Liverpool to cement himself as a central figure in the new era of Reds football.
