Newcastle Determined to Keep World-Class £115M-Rated Arsenal, PSG Target Despite Financial Pressure | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has made it clear that Randal Kolo Muani isn’t a striker who fits what he wants. However, a recent report revealed one striker that the Spanish boss highly rates.

According to Fichajes, Enrique views Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak as a strong candidate for his project, highlighting the Swedish forward’s pace, technical ability, and finishing skills as ideal for the offensive system Enrique wants to build.

CaughtOffside recently claimed that Arsenal and Chelsea are keeping an eye on Isak, although both clubs are reportedly unwilling to meet Newcastle’s £115 million asking price for the Swedish forward.

In 19 appearances across all competitions, Isak has scored 12 goals while recording four assists for the Magpies this 2024-25 season. Nonetheless, Newcastle will do everything in their power to avoid selling him.

Newcastle Update on Future of Alexander Isak

Newcastle United are “very unlikely” to lose more than one of their key players – Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon, or Alexander Isak – in 2025, journalist Ben Jacobs told GIVE ME SPORT.

“I’m still told that Newcastle may have to lose a big star out of financial necessity, especially if they don’t get European football,” Jacobs said. “But I’m also told that the futures of Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak will be intertwined, and it’s very unlikely that Newcastle, even if forced to, would lose more than one of those names.

“And the fact that Gordon was kind of offered to Liverpool shortly before they were able to eventually sell Yankuba Minteh to Brighton and Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest, shows you that of the three, it was clearly Gordon that Newcastle felt they might have to put on the market, and then, luckily, it never went through, because Newcastle found the money from elsewhere.”
