—Alexander Isak Joins Liverpool in Landmark £95 Million TransferIn one of the most talked-about moves of the summer transfer window, Alexander Isak has officially signed for Liverpool, rejecting interest from major European clubs including Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich.
The Swedish striker, previously with Newcastle United, has agreed to a long-term deal at Anfield, with the transfer reportedly valued at £95 million — setting a new club record for Liverpool.
The 25-year-old forward had a standout season in the Premier League, scoring 21 goals despite being hampered by injuries. Known for his pace, technical ability, and smart movement, Isak attracted attention from elite clubs across Europe. But in his first interview as a Liverpool player, he explained why the Merseyside club was the right fit.
“Liverpool is steeped in history and has a strong winning culture, along with incredibly passionate fans,” Isak said. “When the chance to join came up, it felt like the perfect move.
What really appealed to me was Arne Slot’s vision — a dynamic, attacking style that suits how I play.”
He continued:“I spoke with a number of top clubs, but Liverpool stood out. Even before putting pen to paper, I felt a strong sense of belonging. Conversations with the manager and sporting director showed they truly believed in me and saw me as central to their future plans.”
New head coach Arne Slot hailed Isak as a “game-changing addition,” noting that his role will be vital in the tactical reshaping of the squad.“Alexander offers far more than just goal-scoring — he brings intelligence, flair, and leadership in attacking areas. He fits perfectly into our high-energy, fluid system,” Slot said.
The response from Liverpool fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with social media buzzing in celebration of the historic signing.
