Premier League/ Transfert: Liverpool shatter British transfer record to sign Alexander Isak
Liverpool have finalized a monumental deal to sign Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a British record fee of £130 million, including add-ons.
The 25-year-old is scheduled to undergo his medical on Monday before signing a six-year contract at Anfield. This move concludes a protracted transfer saga after Liverpool’s initial offers were rejected.
Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, had been engaged in a standoff with Newcastle, refusing to play after the club initially turned down Liverpool’s advances.
His arrival signals a major coup for the Reds as they seek a long-term offensive solution.
This staggering expenditure is the centerpiece of an unprecedented summer spending spree by Liverpool, which has surpassed £400 million on new talent, including the signings of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
The deal also represents a significant financial gain for Newcastle, who signed Isak from Real Sociedad for £70 million in 2022.
