Newcastle £150M-Rated Star Drops Update on Future That Doesn’t Bode Well for Barcelona, PSG | OneFootball

The winter transfer window has closed, and for now, Alexander Isak remains with Newcastle United. While there wasn’t much speculation about a move in January, reports suggest several clubs, including PSG, could make another push this summer.

A previous report from RMC Sport claimed that PSG was prepared to offer Gonçalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, and Marco Asensio in a swap deal to bring Isak to Paris.

Liverpool has also been linked with the Swedish striker. According to an earlier report from Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the club had already opened talks with his representatives.

The Reds were said to be preparing a major bid for Isak and willing to break from their usual transfer strategy to sign the 25-year-old forward.

Past reports suggested Newcastle had set Isak’s price at €180 million (£150 million), which would make him Liverpool’s record signing, surpassing the £85 million they paid for Darwin Nunez in 2022.

The Athletic reports (h/t Diario AS) that Isak is happy at Newcastle and believes he can achieve his goals with the club. However, he has decided to hold off on discussing a contract extension until the summer.

Despite interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, PSG, and especially Barcelona, Isak isn’t focused on his future right now. Meanwhile, Newcastle are preparing a new contract offer to keep him at the club, but it would take a bid well over £100 million to change their stance.
