Liverpool chases a move for Alexander Isak, but they will have to pay Newcastle a stunning price of £ 150 million if they want the deal to get through – and the player will also demand a large salary package
Alexander Isak is said to be one of the best earners of Liverpool if he sealed a move to Anfield this summer.
The Newcastle striker is a lot of demand and can be on his way to the road after he has informed the magpies that he wants to consider his options.
Liverpool was strongly associated with a movement for the Sweden International, which could cost no less than £ 150 million after his sensational displays for the goal last season and scored 27 times.
The Reds were initially told that Isak was not for sale and chose to sign Hugo Ekitike van Eintracht for £ 79 million.
But after the 25-year-old did not travel with Newcastle for their tour for the season in Asia, Liverpool has now given the hope that they could still close a deal for their top goal.
Such a movement would have seen Liverpool's editions of almost £ 300 million at the top of the arrivals of stars such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Ekitike – and it would place him in the same lane as some of the best earners in the club.
According to Sky in Germany, Isak would earn about the same amount as Ekitike, who has just written a deal worth £ 250,000 a week.
If Isak corresponds to those conditions, it would have signed a new deal to him jointly behind Talisman Mohamed Salah-Die worth an incredible £ 400,000 per week and captain Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutchman would earn around £ 385,000 a week after he had also extended his contract with Anfield.
It is understood that ISAK cashed in about £ 120,000 a week in Newcastle and his motivation to make the switch to Liverpool will only grow, knowing that he is doubling his salary.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has repeatedly insisted that he is sure that Isak will remain in this season, but was a little more downbeat about his future after he did not join the team during their preseason. tour.
“He is still our player,” said Howe. “He contracted us. We have checked to a certain extent what the next one is for him. I would like to believe that all options are still available to us. My wish is that he stays, but that is not in my complete control. “
Howe has rather excluded him from the 4-0 friendly defeat against Celtic because he was worried about the continuous transfer speculation.
