Liverpool Set to Seal £130M Deal for Isak: Newcastle Finally Agree to Let Him Go

On August 29, multiple reliable sources confirmed that the long-running transfer saga of Alexander Isak is nearing its conclusion. According to Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool are preparing to submit a £130 million official bid within hours, and Newcastle United have now softened their stance, agreeing in principle to release the Swedish striker.

A Summer of Tension: Liverpool, Newcastle, and Isak

This transfer window has been dominated by the tug-of-war between the three parties:

• Liverpool initially tabled a £120M offer, which Newcastle rejected.
• Isak made clear his desire to join Liverpool, even resorting to extreme measures such as skipping training and matches.
• Newcastle publicly insisted they would not sell, while quietly pursuing replacements.

Newcastle Sign Replacement, Door Opens

Earlier this morning, Newcastle secured Woltemade for €80M. Multiple journalists reported that this signing was aimed to cover Isak’s imminent departure. Soon after, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed Liverpool’s determination to raise their offer, while Isak’s position has remained unchanged—he only wants to join the Reds.

Liverpool Raise Offer to £130M

Now, Liverpool are ready to push their bid to £130M. Facing such a significant offer, and with a replacement already in place, Newcastle have finally relented. Insiders say that with head coach Eddie Howe’s approval, the club has informed both Liverpool and Isak’s camp that a transfer deal is ready to be finalized.

Isak’s Value

At 25 years old, Isak is currently valued at around €120M. Last season, he made 42 appearances, scoring 27 goals and providing 6 assists, proving himself one of the Premier League’s most clinical forwards. His arrival would greatly strengthen Liverpool’s attacking line.

Conclusion

With Liverpool set to submit their £130M offer, the saga appears to be heading towards its grand finale. Unless unexpected twists occur, this blockbuster Premier League transfer will be officially announced in the coming days.
