The 385-metre PIF Tower in Riyadh houses the Public Investment Fund, led by Yasir al-Rumayyan. Despite interest from Liverpool, Newcastle United, under Eddie Howe, plans to retain Alexander Isak while seeking to acquire Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. The management, influenced by strategic financial interests, has communicated that Isak will not be sold this year. Howe envisions a shift in playing strategy, moving away from a winger-heavy 4-3-3 formation to feature Isak and Ekitike together in attack.
The business case for selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool seems too persuasive for Yasir al-Rumayyan and his colleagues at the Public Investment Fund to ignore.
Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe, would ideally keep Isak while also acquiring Hugo Ekitike, but that scenario seems unlikely.
Newcastle has consistently communicated from the top in Riyadh that Isak will not be sold this year despite Liverpool's interest.
Howe desires to play Isak and Ekitike in attacking tandem, deviating from his preferred, winger-heavy 4-3-3 formation.
