Alexander Isak Tells Newcastle He Wants to Leave Amid Liverpool, Arsenal Interest
Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has formally informed the club of his desire to leave this summer, amid growing interest from Liverpool and Arsenal.
The Swedish forward, who has been a key figure in Newcastle’s attack, is reportedly eager to explore new opportunities in Europe, even though Saudi Arabian clubs have shown interest.
🔄 Newcastle Caught in a Striker Shuffle
The timing of Isak’s decision leaves Newcastle scrambling to find a replacement after they missed out on Hugo Ekitike, who surprisingly signed a six-year deal with Liverpool earlier this week.
Isak’s departure could now trigger a fresh bidding war, especially if Liverpool decide to offload Luis Díaz—a scenario that could make room financially and tactically for Isak.
🗣️ Fabrizio Romano Reports:
“Understand Alexander Isak remains a target for Liverpool even after signing Ekitike… but depends on Newcastle.
If Newcastle open doors to an exit and #LFC sell Diaz, they can bid after direct contact made 10 days ago.
Isak, not in concrete talks with Al Hilal so far.”
🔎 Opinion: Isak’s Exit Could Reshape the Market
Isak’s desire to leave Newcastle could prove pivotal in this summer’s transfer window. With both Liverpool and Arsenal in need of clinical finishers, the 24-year-old—who combines pace, technical finesse, and versatility—would be a strategic addition to any top side.
His refusal to consider Saudi Arabia also signals his ambition to remain at the elite European level—a trait clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool value highly.
