    JD McDonagh, a well-known Liverpool supporter, was performing at a WWE live show in Newcastle ahead of the Reds’ Premier League clash with the Magpies. During his match, he pulled out a Liverpool shirt emblazoned with “Isak 9,” sparking loud boos from the home fans. McDonagh later doubled down by posting footage of the moment on X, captioned “Free Isak.”

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Isak has made it clear he wants to join Liverpool, refusing to play for Newcastle and issuing a statement citing broken promises. The Reds had a £110 million ($148m) bid rejected earlier this month, and with no replacement signed, Newcastle are reluctant to sanction a sale. McDonagh’s stunt highlights just how much the transfer saga has captured attention beyond football circles.

    WHAT NEXT FOR ISAK?

    Liverpool are still interested, but it appears unlikely that Newcastle will allow Isak to leave before the transfer window closes. The Magpies have struggled to land striking reinforcements, making a late deal difficult. Unless there’s a major breakthrough, Isak may have to wait before securing his desired Anfield move.
