Newcastle Offers Record Deal to Keep Isak

Newcastle United is determined to keep striker Alexander Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals in the 2024/25 season, amid strong interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. The club has offered Isak a record-breaking contract extension, though talks have stalled as his agent has paused negotiations, raising transfer concerns. Isak remains under contract until 2028 and has shown happiness at Newcastle, but Arsenal's hopes are buoyed by his close friendship with captain Martin Ødegaard. Liverpool, meanwhile, see Isak as a potential target and continue to strengthen their squad, also pursuing young talent Konstantinos Karetsas. Newcastle, backed by significant investment, values Isak at over £150 million and insists he will only leave for a massive offer. The situation remains fluid as Newcastle aims to retain Isak while managing increased transfer interest following their recent successes.
