The future of Alexander Isak with Newcastle United stays in the air while the striker missed the journey from the Magpies to Villa Park on Saturday and the arrival of one Ligue 1 -star could help him continue
Goncalo Ramos has been associated with a move to Newcastle United, where his arrival could help put an end to Alexander Isak's dramatic transfersaga. The Swede reportedly claimed that he will never play before the Magpies again, regardless of whether he secures a step of Tyneside for Deadline Day from Tyneside.
Liverpool is currently the only likely destination for the 25-year-old, but has to have no conversations with Newcastle after seeing their first bid of £ 110 million plus add-ons rejected. And with less than two weeks to go before the summer window closes, all parties involved will somehow hope for a rapid resolution for rush hour.
As a result of the absence of Isak, Anthony Gordon was used as an improvised striker during the Newcastle goal with a 10-man Aston Villa away from home in their Premier League opener on Saturday. And without a proven No. 9 in their ranks for their collision with Liverpool per week on Monday, Eddie Howe would like to recruit a new frontman before that time.
The Magpies have been quoted £ 40 million for Yoane Wissa van Brentford, who scored 19 goals in 35 outings for the bees in previous term. And with the 28-year-old who apparently prefers a move to St James' park, it can only be a matter of time before a deal between the two clubs is mediated.
However, it is a former goal in Manchester United and Liverpool, Ramos, which was recently linked in Newcastle, which could be incredibly fruitful in finding a new home for Isak in the coming weeks. The 24-year-old has impressed Paris Saint-Germain since he joined the Ligue 1 Giants in 2023, with 34 goals to his name in all competitions so far.
The Red Devils were reportedly in conversation with PSG to bring the Center-Forward to Old Trafford this summer before they came to the Trio of Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, while it is said that Liverpool currently judges the suitability of Ramos in Anfield.
It would not be the first time that the Reds took one of Newcastle's goals this summer and the Chase Chase of Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike hijacked and welcomed him in a £ 79 million movement. However, if you can stop Ramos to have Newcastle signed, it can be incredibly beneficial for Liverpool in their pursuit of Isak.
With two strikers in Wissa and Ramos in their ranks, the Newcastle can encourage a small wobble space to offer Isak at the moment their solid £ 150 million appreciation, which the Reds could see in the middle to take him off their hands.
However, it is a big demand for the magpies who have difficulty recruiting top talent in the current window. Newcastle not only missed about Ekitike, Mbeumo and Sesko, but they also saw that Liam Delap and Joao Pedro are adding movements to Chelsea, Dean Huijsen at Real Madrid and James Trafford returned to Burnley Manchester City.
It is thought that Ramos has settled in the French capital and that he is not too enthusiastic about a switch to the Premier League, despite interest. Meanwhile, with expected wages reported in the region of £ 200,000 a week, and with a valuation of around £ 68 million at the moment, it can prove to be another fruitless company for Newcastle.
