Arsenal fans are fuming as Liverpool eye a £120m deal for Alexander Isak to cap off the "greatest transfer window of all time". The 25‑year‑old Sweden international is a top target as the Reds seek a new frontman to boost their attack ahead of Darwin Nunez’s expected departure this summer.
Liverpool are accelerating their efforts to sign Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, in what could become one of the marquee deals of the 2025 summer transfer window. The Anfield outfit have formally expressed their interest in acquiring the Swedish forward, with reports confirming that a deal in the region of £120 million ($161m) has been discussed with the Magpies.
Liverpool have entered the fray to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, potentially disrupting Newcastle United's long-standing pursuit of the 22-year-old striker having made their interest known in the Magpies' Alexander Isak. The Merseyside giants have initiated contact with the Bundesliga club, seeking to open negotiations.
Anthony Elanga, Newcastle United's new £55 million ($74m) recruit from Nottingham Forest, has expressed his admiration for international team-mate Alexander Isak, labelling the striker among the world’s elite. However, Elanga also made it clear that speculation surrounding Isak’s future at St James Park is part and parcel of being a top player, referring to the transfer chatter as little more than “noise.”
Liverpool’s hopes of signing Alexander Isak have reportedly been dashed after Newcastle’s Saudi ownership stepped in to block any potential sale — even if the striker pushes for a move. The Reds were prepared to table a British-record £130 million ($175m) offer, but the Magpies have made it clear the Swedish star is not for sale at any price this summer.
