Saudi Pro League giants A-Hilal are ready to offer a staggering £600,000-a-week, tax-free contract to lure Alexander Isak from Newcastle, despite interest from Premier League champions Liverpool. Isak has been linked with a move away from St. James' Park this summer and the player has not travelled to Asia for the club's pre-season friendly matches.

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    According to The Guardian, Al-Hilal are prepared to make the offer even more attractive by adding bonuses on top of the outrageous salary on offer. The bonus payments would depend on whether Al-Hilal win the Saudi Pro League or the AFC Champions League titles and Isak becomes the highest goal-scorer.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Liverpool are also in the race to sign the Swedish forward, although the Reds are in no position to match the massive wages offered by their Saudi counterparts. The English champions may also be unable to match Newcastle's valuation of £120 million ($161m) after spending close to £300m ($400m) on transfers this summer, which has seen players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez join the club.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The Reds, however, could still manage the finances if they can offload Luis Diaz amid strong interest from Bayern Munich, who remain keen on signing the Colombian despite seeing their initial bid rejected by Liverpool.

    Fabrizio Romano has reported that Isak has not held any direct talks with Al-Hial as his dream destination remains Liverpool. It now depends on whether Newcastle allows the player to leave this summer.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR NEWCASTLE?

    Eddie Howe's side will be in action on Sunday as they take on Arsenal in a pre-season friendly at the Singapore National Stadium. Isak's future looks set to remain up in the air for some time.
