Liverpool are on the verge of landing one of the most sensational signings in their recent history as Alexander Isak’s agent has confirmed that a deal is “close to finalising” between the English champions and Newcastle United.
In a bombshell development that has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, Isak’s representative spoke to media outlets earlier today and dropped the clearest hint yet that the Swedish forward is heading to Anfield.
“We are close to finalising the agreement. Alexander has expressed his desire to take the next step in his career, and Liverpool is the ideal project for him,” his agent stated.
The 25-year-old striker has reportedly requested to leave Newcastle this summer in order to join Arne Slot’s Liverpool, with personal terms already agreed and only final paperwork left to complete. It’s believed Liverpool will pay a staggering £150 million, smashing their club transfer record and making Isak one of the most expensive signings in Premier League history.
Sources suggest Isak is expected to undergo his medical within the next 48 hours, with the player currently preparing to fly out to Spain where the final stages of the transfer will be conducted privately before his grand unveiling.
Key Details of the Deal:
- Transfer Fee: £150 million
- Contract Length: Five years (Until June 2030)
- Wages: Structured with performance bonuses and goal incentives
- Medical: Expected within 48 hours in Spain
Isak, who netted 21 Premier League goals last season for Newcastle, has long been admired by Liverpool scouts for his blend of pace, power, and composure in front of goal. Arne Slot views him as the perfect centrepiece to lead Liverpool’s new era of dominance.
With Mohamed Salah potentially heading into his final year at the club, many believe Isak is being lined up as Liverpool’s next great attacking talisman – one who can carry the torch and help restore European glory to Anfield.
Fans have taken to social media in a frenzy of excitement, dreaming of an attacking trio of Luis Díaz, Alexander Isak, and Cody Gakpo, as the club prepares to defend its Premier League crown.
It’s happening. Liverpool are loading. The Premier League has been warned.
