Live from Sky Sports and confirmed by Fabrizio Romano – it’s official. Liverpool have completed one of the most stunning signings in recent memory by landing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a record-breaking £150 million transfer.
The Swedish forward has signed a five-year deal that ties him to Anfield until 2030, immediately making him one of the costliest players in Premier League history.
Fabrizio Romano reports that the transfer paperwork is already underway. Isak, who has been vacationing in Spain, is expected to depart tonight and arrive in Liverpool within 24 hours to undergo a medical and finalize the move.
Once completed, Liverpool are poised to unveil their new No. 9 before the weekend.
This transfer represents a bold statement from Arne Slot and the Liverpool hierarchy.
With rivals across the league strengthening, the Reds have gone all-in on a striker they believe can lead them back to domestic and European glory. Isak, long admired by top clubs, is now set to become the centerpiece of Slot’s attacking strategy.
Liverpool supporters have taken to social media in celebration, with excitement sweeping through the fanbase. One supporter tweeted, “We’re ready to compete now!” while another added, “£150 million well spent—this is the game-changer!”
The buzz around the club has transformed overnight, with fans dreaming of Isak teaming up with Salah, Núñez, and Díaz in a fearsome front line.
Slot’s vision was clear from day one: he wanted a dynamic, clinical forward who could both score and create. Isak checks every box.
Renowned for his sharp movement, elegant footwork, and clinical finishing, the Swedish international has even drawn comparisons to Thierry Henry thanks to his composure and flair in the final third.
For Newcastle United, the sale marks a turning point. Isak was a marquee player under Eddie Howe and played a pivotal role in their recent rise. But with Financial Fair Play limitations in mind, a £150 million offer was simply too substantial to turn down.
Sky Sports also notes the inclusion of performance-based add-ons that could increase the total value of the deal. Liverpool’s recruitment team has been working on this move for weeks, with Arne Slot playing a hands-on role in persuading Isak to join the Reds over several top European contenders.
As Isak prepares to land in Merseyside and sign on the dotted line, Liverpool’s intentions couldn’t be clearer: they’re gunning for the Premier League crown. Isak’s signing represents the dawn of a new era—an elite forward added to a squad hungry for trophies.
From the stands of Anfield to homes across Liverpool, the excitement is palpable. The Reds have secured their man. The only question left is: how many defenders will Alexander Isak leave in his wake?
Anfield is ready. And the Premier League has just become a lot more dangerous.
