Newcastle Open to Alexander Isak’s Transfer to Liverpool—But Only on One Condition
Newcastle United have reportedly left the door open for a potential transfer of star striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool. However, the Magpies have made it clear that a move will only materialize under one crucial condition.
According to sources close to the club, Newcastle would consider selling the Swedish forward to Liverpool only if Isak himself pushes for the transfer.
While the club is not actively looking to part ways with their record-breaking signing, they are prepared to respect his wishes should he express a strong desire to leave St. James’ Park this summer.
Isak, who has played a key role in Newcastle’s resurgence under Eddie Howe, has caught Liverpool’s attention with his versatility, clinical finishing, and leadership in attack.
Since joining from Real Sociedad, the 25-year-old has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most exciting forwards, with his stock continuing to rise.
A Newcastle insider told Sky Sports:
“The club has no plans to sell Alexander Isak, but if he makes it clear he wants to join Liverpool, we will have to assess the situation. He is a vital part of our project, but we will always respect a player’s ambitions.”
For Liverpool, Isak’s availability presents a significant opportunity as they look to bolster their attacking options. Jurgen Klopp has long admired the Swede’s technical ability and work rate, and his addition could provide a new dimension to Liverpool’s frontline.
Fans from both clubs have taken to social media to react to the speculation. One Liverpool supporter posted:
“If we sign Isak, our attack is set for years. He has everything—pace, power, and finishing.”
Meanwhile, Newcastle fans are hoping he stays committed to their ambitious project, with one tweeting:
“Selling Isak would be a major setback. He’s irreplaceable.”
For now, the decision appears to rest with Isak. His choice could determine whether he continues as a key figure in Newcastle’s future or embarks on a new challenge at Anfield.
