Liverpool have submitted a British transfer record bid to Newcastle for Alexander Isak, we can exclusively reveal for CaughtOffside.
Isak has been desperate to join the Premier League champions for several weeks, having opted against playing for Newcastle since it emerged that Liverpool were interested in signing him. And his efforts to secure his dream move are on course to be successful.
We understand that Newcastle, after agreeing a deal to sign Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade as Isak’s replacement, are prepared to drop their asking price, which had been set in stone at £150m. And on the back of this, Liverpool have laid their cards on the table with a new proposal – and the offer has exceeded the £116m they paid for Florian Wirtz earlier in the summer.
Liverpool are confident of agreeing Alexander Isak deal
It was in July that Liverpool made their first move for Isak, submitting a £110m offer that was immediately rejected by Newcastle. Since then, the Anfield club have been biding their time, and patiently waiting for their Premier League rivals to give them encouragement to make a second bid – and this offer is around the £130m mark.
We understand that Newcastle have not abruptly rejected Liverpool’s new offer, as they did with their first proposal. The plan is for open dialogue to take place between all parties; with personal terms having already been agreed between the Anfield club and Isak, they are expected to end well.
Liverpool have shown interest in a number of alternatives to Isak, but the Swedish striker has always been their number one target. And now, there is increased optimism that he will be heading to Anfield in the coming days, and with a British transfer record fee going in the opposite direction to St James’ Park. We expect this one to be completed quickly.
Secret hotel meetings taking place
We also understand that one official from Newcastle United and another from Liverpool have been having secret meetings in a hotel for a week as they attempt to hammer out the transfer fee for Alexander Isak.
These club chiefs have been talking over breakfast, lunch, and dinner, just the two of them, away from the prying eyes of the media.
Our insider from Saudi Arabia lifted the lid on these talks, with PIF and FSG seemingly sharing a really good relationship, and discussions developing well.
you can reveal they’ve submitted a bid but don’t know how much for? how odd!
It says “around the £130m mark”
More so, they already know it will go through.
they said 130
No more time to waste,Liverpool shld act fast to secure the services of Isak,Guehi and Rodrygo..if they manage that in few days to come before the window closes,then we can say it’s home and dry…Champions league here we come
👍🏾😊
Ha Ha we will see
👍🏽💯
Don’t think Rodrygo will come in after securing Isak, we have to be careful with the PSR
they don’t need Rodrygo. a left winger isn’t really a priority right now as they don’t want to block Rio’s path to the first team
Nunez forever.
Isak is going nowhere. Liverpool are not going to pay what the toon want. Woltemade is a good signing if his highlight reel is anything to go by
sorry man Isak is going
Isak will leave Newcastle to chase silverware. It’s nothing about the money and doesn’t owe nothing to the club.
A Micky mouse cup doesn’t count as a trophy in the U.K. when he couldn’t challenging titles for the premiership and champions league rather than just appearing in it
Think this move is going to come back to bite Liverpool in the butt. If you must have Isak, go in with a bid of 75mil, given to situation NCFC find themselves in and the fact that no other team has any interest.
Bad move to give in to a petulant player.
If you offer half of what they want then that is insulting to them. They will play hardball. Going by the market, 120-130m is probably about right.
Think Norwich City are holding out for £150m
One dare says the amount on offer from LFC will probably cover the amount Newcastle need to spend to get their two strikers (should Wissa, or whoever also come in as replacement for Wilson).
Sounds fair to all as well as tidy business.
Liverpool get their cherry on top and Newcastle get two for the price of one and if the fans get the same or more goals, job’s a good’un.
indyyyy
all three will make us strong again, if we miss one, we will struggle, thats with out injuries 🙏
whod want isak thequitter now
Tell them to get stuffed
hater. get a life.
Better to release a poison than keep it in. I thank him for his work and wish him well in every match except against the lads. if he’s not committed, it hurts the team, Howe knows this. Enjoy it while you have it Liverpool, it isn’t going to last and PSG will be knocking on your door….
Once the dust settles and time heals some over-sensitive emotions over what is essentially a bunch of extremely well paid entertainment professionals keeping the media filled with stuff to take our minds off the rest of the world’s news, one dares say it will and football will carry on as usual…
It’s gearing up for a very interesting season..
That’s the problem with Newcastle fans. You don’t realise how BIG Liverpool Football Club actually is. PSG is tiny compared to Liverpool, no matter how much they spend on wages, etc. Why do you think Florian Wirtz chose Liverpool over Bayern Munich, Real Madrid & Man City??
Maybe it’s because you’re English. Maybe that’s why you don’t get it. Liverpool’s 12:30pm kick-offs that annoyed Klopp were designed to cater for Middle Eastern fans. Liverpool’s reach is global. It will take the likes of PSG another 30 years to get anywhere near Liverpool in terms of ‘size’.
So let them ‘come knocking’. We don’t care. We only care when Real Madrid do that because it’s every footballer’s dream to play for them.
150 million or tell the dippers to do one
One dares say the accountants will sort that for you.
Exciting times ahead at Newcastle, their business plan of growing on a sound financial base is in stark contrast to Ashley’s parasitic behaviour.
I’m old enough to recall how Ferguson’s comments played Keegan in order to cheat the title from Newcastle in ’96.
Selling Isak at the right price and playing fairly to join the top table long term is part of that future success.
More utter fictional clickbait guff
Is that a opinion based on recorded evidence or just a knee-jerk ‘bot-style response ?
Perhaps you’re either too young, or too many “plays” have clouded the memory ?
Good luck to you anyway.
Liverpool that who? Newcastle should have made Isaac new contract last year instead they gave to Gordon. Liverpool will be unstoppable with issac and guehi
Newcastle finally agree this deal
good riddance toi him he will spend more time injured and winging take the 130
I believed by tonight of 2moro the deal would have been concluded. It will be a statement of intent. Isak you are welcome to AXA training centre for your medicals.
🤌🏾🦬💩
At the end of it all it is better for New Castle to let a player who is unwilling to play for them leave for the team he wants to join. it serves no purpose to keep an unhappy player because he will most certainly not deliver. if the price is right let him go. there is equally no reason to then suggest Psg or any other team will prise him out of Liverpool. that I think is to say after all grapes are sour. Every team has a right to want certain players to join them just like every player has a right to join a team of his choice just like Alexander Arnold did. there is no reason to be emotional or bitter about it. it’s football
