Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal have reportedly entered the race to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak. Al-Hilal, who are looking for a new forward, are ready to compete with Liverpool to secure a transfer for the Swedish striker. The club are reportedly preparing a massive €130 million (£112m/$151m) offer to convince the Magpies to part ways with Isak.
Liverpool are still keeping tabs on Alexander Isak despite signing Hugo Ekitike, with the Newcastle United striker keen to leave St James’ Park. The Reds remain interested in a potential £130 million ($176m) move, but will only act if the Magpies soften their stance and Luis Diaz departs. Despite reports, it is now reported that Isak is not currently in talks with Al-Hilal.
Bayern Munich are set to launch a renewed attempt to sign Luis Díaz from Liverpool, with a second offer reportedly on the cards. While Díaz remains with the Liverpool squad during their pre-season tour in Asia, discussions surrounding his potential departure have intensified behind the scenes.
Alan Shearer has expressed his frustration with Newcastle United after they released what he deemed a misleading statement regarding Alexander Isak’s absence from their pre-season tour. The former Newcastle captain and the Premier League's all-time top goalscorer criticised the club’s decision to cite a “minor thigh injury” as the reason for Isak missing the trip, just hours before news broke that the Swedish striker wants to leave the club this summer amid interest from Liverpool.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has suggested the club’s summer business may not be over, sparking further speculation about a possible move for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak. The Reds, who have already spent close to £300 million in this transfer window, appear determined to strengthen their squad even further before the new season kicks off.
Bruno Guimaraes has addressed the growing uncertainty around Alexander Isak, whose absence from Newcastle United’s pre-season tour has sparked fresh transfer concern on Tyneside. With Liverpool circling and the Swedish striker reportedly having handed a transfer request, the Magpies maintain that Isak is simply recovering from injury and has not travelled with the squad to Singapore.
