Liverpool has agreed to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a British-record deal worth £125 million to £130 million. The transfer fee might be £125 million upfront, with an additional £5 million due to solidarity payments, making the total deal worth £130 million. Isak will undergo a medical and sign a six-year contract with Liverpool ahead of the 7 p.m. BST transfer deadline.
Here’s a breakdown of the deal ¹ ²:
• Transfer Fee: £125 million (fixed fee) + £5 million (solidarity payments) = £130 million
• Contract Duration: Six years
• Medical and Signing: Expected to be completed on Monday, ahead of the transfer deadline
Isak’s move to Liverpool ends a prolonged transfer saga, with the striker publicly stating his desire to leave Newcastle due to alleged broken promises. Newcastle initially valued Isak at £150 million but softened their stance after he missed the opening weeks of the season. The Magpies have since signed Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart for up to £69 million and are working on signing Brentford’s Yoane Wissa.
