"Liverpool have agreed a British-record deal to sign striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, sources told ESPN. The Premier League champions have had a £125M bid accepted to sign the Sweden international, who is expected to undergo a medical ahead of Monday's transfer deadline. It brings an end to one of the summer's most-protracted transfer sagas, with Isak having spent more than a month agitating for a move away from Newcastle."
"He also released a sensational statement earlier this month in which he claimed promises had been "broken" by the Newcastle hierarchy and insisted a move this summer would be in the best interests of all parties. Isak is now set to become the most expensive signing in Premier League history, surpassing Chelsea's Moisés Caicedo who joined the London club for £115M from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer of 2023."
Liverpool have agreed a British-record £125M fee to sign striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, with the Sweden international expected to undergo a medical before Monday's transfer deadline. Isak spent more than a month agitating for a move, did not join Newcastle's preseason tour of the Far East and has not featured this season. He released a statement saying promises were "broken" by Newcastle's hierarchy and said a summer move would be in the best interests of all parties. The fee would make Isak the most expensive signing in Premier League history, surpassing Moisés Caicedo. Liverpool earlier broke their club record to sign Florian Wirtz for an initial £100M (plus potential add-ons).
