Newcastle -striker Alexander Isak tries to penetrate a large money movement to Liverpool and Reds -legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts about the situation
Jamie Carragher has branded Newcastle “separated from reality” after he claimed that the £ 110 million offer of Liverpool for Alexander Isak was “Desperis”. Isak tries to penetrate a move to Liverpool and earlier this week issued a statement that Newcastle accused of waking promises.
“The reality is that promises have been made and the club has known my position for a long time,” said Isak. “To pretend that these issues are only on the rise, it is misleading. When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue.”
The club responded to Isak's statement and insisted that “the conditions of a sale did not happen this summer” and that they “did not provide those conditions”. Newcastle value isak for £ 150 million, but Liverpool -legend Carragher believes that that would be “too much”.
In his last column for De Telegraaf, Carragher said: “Of course I would like to see the Swedish striker becoming a Liverpool player, but not at all costs, and the suggestion that the first range of £ 110 million for Isak 'Derisory' is separated from reality.
“If Liverpool would offer more than £ 130 million, it's too much. You would like Kylian Mbappé for the reimbursement. From the moment Isak made his debut against Liverpool in Anfield, he noticed, but there are worries.
“Now 25, he still has to prove that he has Salah's sustainability. He did not start 36 league games during his three seasons in England and 10 of his last 44 competition goals were fines. He would not take them in Anfield.
“From the start, Liverpool knew how difficult it would be to convince Newcastle to sell. As soon as Newcastle qualified for the Champions League, my instinct was closed. Newcastle has the power to resist because Isak has three years to run, and they can also anticipate large income from a European campaign.
“What ISAK also wanted private, there was an honest assumption that it would take another 12 months for such a transfer to be acceptable in St James' Park. Signing a new deal with the written guarantees that ISAK claimed verbally would have forced the move in 2026.
“Now it is massacre. Howe is currently without his best player, and reinforcing him has become more complicated after the understandable hostile reaction of Newcastle fans in Villa Park last weekend.”
Isak is currently training away from the first team of Newcastle after missing their pre-season tour through Asia and he did not play in the opener of Newcastle against Aston Villa, who ended up like a 0-0 draw.
