The stunning form of Alexander Isak has linked him to various clubs, but Gary Neville has thrown a different name in the hat when it comes to the potential next club of the Newcastle striker.
Gary Neville has claimed that Manchester United should be one of the next destinations of Alexander Isak, should the striker Newcastle United left this summer.
Isak took his 23rd goal of the season the last time-out when the Magpies Liverpool defeated in the Carabao Cup final in Wembley, with which the 70-year waiting time of the club ended on a domestic trophy. The productive 25-year-old, however, has been the center of a lot of transfer speculation this season, where top clubs such as Liverpool and Arsenal are linked.
During a discussion about the It's Called Soccer Podcast between Neville, Rebecca Lowe and Jamie Carragher, the former United Captain Chimed after Lowe Carragher had asked where the next destination of Isak could be, with the name of the presenter who checked the current top two sides of the Premier League.
Neville raised his hand to interrupt and simply said “united” and threw his former club into the mix. The intermediate of the ex-Red Devils Captain came after he had said earlier that Isak wants to play at the biggest clubs of one football, because it is “natural”.
“The reality is that Newcastle is a great football club and we have not seen that as we did on Sunday [at the Carabao Cup final]”Said Neville.” But they will want to play for the Real Madrids, Liverpools, Manchester Uniteds and Bayern Munich from this world, it is of course that these players want to play in those clubs at some point if they can. “
However, Carragher did not agree with Neville and insisted that the Gunners and Arne Slot team are the most realistic candidates for Isak.
“I think the only two options would be Arsenal and Liverpool at the moment, because they both shout a bit for a striker,” said Carragher, before he expressed doubts about how feasible a deal would be to praise Isak.
“I just look at how long he has been left on his deal and the ball is in the court of Newcastle, it's not really in Isak's. I think once you get [down] up to two years [on the contract]It is almost a 50-50, nobody wants to fall up to 12 months.
“Newcastle could keep him for another year and say:” We see you because we are going to get the same kind of money. “I don't think Newcastle wins something by selling it now, unless they had to.
“And that is why, if Newcastle comes to the Champions League, there is no way in which Isak leaves the club. I think the club will say:” No, do 12 months and in a year we can make a few pounds and you can continue. “
While Neville stated that United should be for Isak in the transfer rope race, it probably looks that Ruben Amorim will focus on the Swedish striking partner of Isak and his former attacker at Sporting CP, Viktor Gyokeres, instead.
Amorim signed Gyokees for sporty from Coventry City in the summer of 2023 and helped the Swedish international to become one of the most productive attackers in European football.
The Swedish national team boss Jon Dahl Tomasson is also convinced that Gyokeres has what is needed to succeed in the Premier League. “Gyokees would be fantastic in the Premier League,” he told the Spiegel prior to their friendly with Noord -Ireland on Tuesday.
“He could play for every club in the world and he would score a lot of goals everywhere. He and Isak are two very different players, but they are both world -class strikers.”
