Alexander Isak Transfer Bombshell emerges while the shock club enters the race in the middle of Liverpool’s interest
A shock club entered the race to sign Alexander Isak after having declared to Newcastle United that he wanted to explore his options this summer.
Isak established himself as one of the main attackers in England after his ultra-prolive campaign in the Premier League last season.
He scored 23 impressive goals in 34 championship games, after winning 21 goals in 30 championship games during the 2023/24 quarter.
His future was darkened by uncertainty despite Newcastle’s qualifications for the Champions League, the star striker informing his club that he wants to explore his options during the transfer window.
Liverpool remains interested in sign Isak, even if they have escaped 69 million pounds sterling to acquire Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Reds were long -term admirers of the 25 -year -old man, who remains on their radar before the 2025/26 campaign.
Arne Slot’s team, however, faces competition from the Chelsea national rivals, because they can consider a decision, given that they have the financial muscle to conclude an agreement.
Speak IndependentChelsea “would require a difference compared to recent targets and a profile change given the age and career trajectory of Isak”.
However, according to Sacha tablesIsak’s “favorite” choice is Liverpool.
The Saudi team of Saudi Pro League Al Hilal is also in the mixture and has experienced a “direct contact” with Newcastle.
A transfer to Al Hilal was described as “hard” but the Swedish does not close the door of the Middle East.
Chelsea has already recruited two attackers this summer, after taking Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and Joao Pedro from Brighton.
But it seems that the blues had an eye on Isak’s situation before having an official approach.
What does Eddie Howe said about Alexander Isak this summer?
Eddie Howe hopes to call on the services of Isak next season, but he admitted that he would be “very silly” to guarantee that the player remains at St. James’ Park.
“I don’t think we really have a job other than we love as a player, we love him as a person, and we want him to stay,” he said to BBC Radio Newcastle After the defeat of the pre-season of his team to Celtic.
“This is reciprocal in the club. It is an exceptional talent, has made a big difference for us since he signed, so he is a player that we really cherish.”
Howe added: “I think everyone linked to Newcastle is lively, or more than lively, that he continues his trip with us.
“It’s a great season to come and I hope Alex will be part.”
