Newcastle demanded 173 million euros for Isak

Newcastle United is not planning to sell Alexander Isak during the current transfer window, according to talkSPORT. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to the source, to reduce interest from other clubs, the "Magpies" management has set the striker's price at over 173 million euros. It is known that Liverpool has been linked with an offer of around 139 million euros for Newcastle, but received a rejection.

Earlier, there were rumors in the media that Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal club could enter the competition against Liverpool for Isak, but sources indicate that Isak himself wants to continue his career specifically at Liverpool. Additionally, the "Reds" have agreed on contract terms with Hugo Ekitike from Reims, who is also one of the players of interest to Newcastle.

In the 2024/25 season, Isak played 42 games for the "Magpies," scoring 27 goals and providing 6 assists. The 25-year-old Swedish player's current contract is set to run until the end of June 2028, and Transfermarkt values his market price at 120 million euros.
