Newcastle’s Bold Decision on PSG Target Alexander Isak Amid Arsenal, Liverpool Links | OneFootball

The winter transfer window is now closed, meaning Alexander Isak will stay at Newcastle United for the time being. While there wasn’t much buzz about a move this winter, it’s likely that plenty of clubs will be keeping an eye on him come summer.

Recently, RMC Sport’s Daniel Riolo suggested that PSG should make a strong push for Isak to strengthen their attack under manager Luis Enrique.

“Wouldn’t you go all-in on Alexander Isak if you were PSG?” Riolo said. “PSG could very well go all-in. Can we swap Ramos and Kolo Muani for Isak? Can we make a package like that? You also add Asensio to the package. And come on, I’ll throw in Kang-In Lee too.”

As for other interested clubs, Arsenal have shown some interest, but FootballTransfers reported that Liverpool are currently the most eager suitor and are leading the race for his signature.

Fresh new details regarding Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle

TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey reported on Saturday that Newcastle are aiming to open talks with Alexander Isak and secure a new contract before the season ends.

Although discussions between Newcastle and Isak’s camp took place last year, they were put on hold. However, Newcastle are determined not to lose Isak, acknowledging that he’s one of the best strikers in the world, per the report.

Even though Isak is under contract until 2028, he’s not among the club’s highest-paid players, and Newcastle recognize the need for a new deal. To make this happen, they’ll likely need to adjust their wage structure, as Isak would demand a salary exceeding £200,000, per the report.

TBR Football also claims that Isak is open to a new contract, though he ideally wants to see Newcastle playing in the Champions League.

Nevertheless, Newcastle are eager to avoid any risk of losing him and plan to start talks soon, hoping to convince him that his future lies at Tyneside. It remains to be seen if Isak will agree to a new deal before the summer.
