Newcastle United plotting Alexander Isak move amid Liverpool interest and imminent teammate departure

Keeping Alexander Isak at the club is top of Newcastle United’s priority list this summer.

Isak scored 27 goals in all competitions last season, spearheading Newcastle United’s dream, one they eventually realised, of qualifying for the Champions League and ending their long trophy drought. Mohamed Salah was the only player to score more than Isak in the Premier League last season – therefore it’s easy to understand why much has been made about his future on Tyneside.

Despite Newcastle United issuing multiple hands-off warnings to potential suitors, Liverpool and Arsenal continue to be linked with a move for Isak this summer. Whilst interest from north London has died down in recent weeks, speculation on social media continues to link the Swedish international with a move to Anfield.

Isak currently has three years remaining on his contract at St James’ Park, meaning they aren’t under any pressure to sell him this summer. That could change next year when Isak enters the final two years of his deal, but the footballing landscape may have dramatically changed by then.
Newcastle United, though, aren’t waiting around for that outcome and, according to the Times, are willing to make Isak their highest paid player to get him to sign a new deal. That new deal would strengthen their negotiating position over Isak’s future in years to come – and it may even increase the likelihood that the 25-year-old ends up going nowhere.
