Aug 1 Alexander Isak Agrees to Liverpool Deal Until 2031 Amid Transfer Tension

A major transfer twist is unfolding in the Premier League as Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has reportedly finalised personal terms with Liverpool on a deal running until 2031, according to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.

The Swedish international has rejected Manchester United’s approach and made it clear: he only wants Liverpool — the reigning Premier League champions.

💰 Transfer Talks Hit a Wall — For Now

While Isak’s camp is confident of a breakthrough, Liverpool’s £120 million bid has already been turned down by Newcastle. The Magpies have set their asking price at a massive £150 million, hoping to deter the move.

📍 Isak Takes Drastic Action

In a clear sign of his intent to push for the move, Isak is:

⚽ Training alone in Spain at Real Sociedad, his former club.
❌ Skipping Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia.
🔁 Applying pressure on Newcastle to accept Liverpool’s offer.

🔥 What Makes Isak So Valuable?

🧨 21 Premier League goals last season
⚡ Explosive pace, technical finesse, and clinical finishing
🔴 Fits perfectly into Arne Slot’s high-tempo Liverpool attack

If the move is completed, Isak would become Liverpool’s most expensive signing ever, surpassing the fee for Darwin Núñez.

🗣️ Opinion: Isak Is Making a Statement — But Will FSG Blink First?

Isak's stance is loud and clear — he wants to wear the red shirt at Anfield, and he's willing to step back from Newcastle's plans to make it happen. The ball is now in Liverpool’s court to either raise their bid or walk away.

At the same time, Newcastle may face the difficult choice of holding on to an unhappy player or cashing in now at near-record levels.
