The latest Alexander Isak transfer news suggest that Newcastle United won’t entertain any offers for their star striker unless a bid exceeds £115 million.
Isak is one of the hottest properties in world football right now and the Magpies will demand a record fee for their scintillating Swede.
Arsenal have been long-term admirers of Isak and according to reports, Premier League and London rivals Chelsea are ready to go toe-to-toe with the Gunners.
Much has been made of Isak’s future at St James’ Park in recent times. It’s widely believed the 25-year-old has his doubts about remaining on Tyneside.
Eddie Howe’s side won’t let Isak go without a fight, though. However, a monstrous offer will be extremely hard to turn down.
The Magpies would be able to reinvest such funds across the whole of their squad. Including a direct replacement for the Sweden international.
Alexander Isak Transfer News Doesn’t Bode Well For Newcastle
If the latest Alexander Isak transfer news is to be believed, an intense race is forming to land his signature. Chelsea will likely match or better any potential Arsenal bid.
Both clubs are keen to add a proven goalscorer to their ranks and Isak ticks all the right boxes. If the Blues secure a top-four finish this season, they will firmly believe they can secure a deal.
From the Gunners perspective, Isak could be the marquee signing needed to give them domestic and European success. In recent years, an out-an-out goalscorer has been lacking at the Emirates.
Newcastle still remain quietly confident Isak will sign a new mega-money deal to stay at St James’ Park. With that said, the striker will want assurances that the Magpies can offer regular UEFA Champions League football.
Not only that, but to compete for trophies on a regular basis, too. Isak has already had a taste of Europe’s biggest club competition whilst with the club and was a 2023 Carabao Cup runner-up.
Nonetheless, the lure of playing for either London giant may be too hard to resist. Plus, the pair have a more realistic chance of winning major trophies.
Meanwhile, the Geordies have shortlisted Sporting’s in-demand striker Viktor Gyokeres as a potential replacement. Naturally, they will have to compete with a whole host of club’s for his signature.
