"The longest-running transfer saga of the summer looks set to be resolved on deadline day with Liverpool agreeing a fee with Newcastle for striker Alexander Isak. Multiple reports this morning suggest the Merseysiders will pay a fixed amount of £125million for Isak with the Sweden striker signing a six-year contract at Anfield. It represents a British record fee, beating the previous best set by Liverpool earlier in the window when they signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal that could rise to £116m."
"Newcastle had insisted all summer that Isak would not be sold unless they were able to buy a replacement - for both him and Callum Wilson, whose contract expired at the end of last season - and they received what they considered a suitable offer. Liverpool saw an earlier bid, reportedly around the £110m mark, rejected, leading to an impasse. Isak missed Newcastle's pre-season tour of Asia and issued a statement in which he expressed his desire to leave Tyneside, claiming "promises were broken and trust is lost" and that "the relationship can't continue.""
Liverpool will sign Sweden striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle for a reported £125m, with the player expected to sign a six-year contract running until June 2031. The fee constitutes a British transfer record, surpassing Liverpool's earlier Florian Wirtz deal that could reach £116m. Newcastle agreed the sale after securing a replacement and believing the offer was suitable, with documents exchanged overnight and a solidarity payment taking Newcastle's total to around £130m. Isak missed Newcastle's pre-season tour and stated that "promises were broken and trust is lost," expressing a desire to leave. Liverpool earlier signed Hugo Ekitike, and Newcastle signed Nick Woltemade for a club-record £69m.
