Barcelona, PSG Eye Positive Development as Liverpool Target Rejects Newcastle’s Initial Contract Offers | OneFootball

The winter transfer window came and went with Alexander Isak still at Newcastle United. While there wasn’t much talk of a move in January, reports suggest PSG and other clubs could make another push for him this summer.

RMC Sport previously reported that PSG was willing to offer Gonçalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, and Marco Asensio in a swap deal to bring Isak to Paris.

Liverpool are also in the mix for the Swedish striker. According to Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the club has already started discussions with his representatives.

The Reds are reportedly preparing a major bid for Isak and may even break from their usual transfer approach to land the 25-year-old.

Newcastle has reportedly 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 Núñez in 2022.

Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona are eyeing a move for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and could also make a bid for Isak.

Newcastle have reportedly paused contract talks with star player Isak after he rejected their initial proposals. CaughtOffside reported on Wednesday, citing sources, that the club will reassess the situation and plan their next steps, especially with growing interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.

Isak has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 23 goals and providing five assists across all competitions for Newcastle. He also helped the Magpies secure the Carabao Cup with a goal in their victory over Liverpool.

Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly monitoring the situation, with Isak as a top target for both clubs this summer, per CaughtOffside.
