Newcastle Urgently Seek to Extend £150M-Rated Liverpool, PSG Target’s Contract | OneFootball

The winter transfer window came and went, with Alexander Isak staying at Newcastle United—for now. While there wasn’t much talk about a move this winter, plenty of clubs will likely be keeping tabs on him ahead of the summer.

Still, the Magpies have no plans to lose Isak, who has been linked to PSG, per Fichajes. RMC Sport’s Daniel Riolo recently urged the Parisians to make a serious push for Isak as they look to strengthen their attack under 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.”

Meanwhile, Arsenal have shown some interest, but according to FootballTransfers, Liverpool are currently the most determined suitor and leading the race for his signature.

Former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that a new deal for the 25-year-old has become a priority, considering the rumors surrounding Isak.

“They’re working really hard to get a new contract agreed,” Brown said. “He is, by far, the top center-forward in the country as far as I’m concerned. He’s got everything in his locker. He’s got a good first touch, can have the ball played into him, can beat people, he can run in behind, he’s quick, and he scores goals of every description.

“So Newcastle are going to do whatever they can to keep him at the club. They’re demanding £150 million to start negotiations, and that’s what it is, but I can’t see them letting him go. It might depend on him, because if he’s got the idea in his mind that he’s going to go somewhere like Arsenal, then it could be taken out of their hands.

“But as far as they’re concerned, that isn’t the case, and they’re going to get him a new deal. I think they’ll sit down with him before the end of the season to discuss it and then they’ll come to an agreement – that’s going to be their priority now. If they can keep him at the club, it’s going to be a huge boost.”

Recently, El Chiringuito journalist José Álvarez reported that Barcelona are targeting Isak. He reveals that the Isak is the Spanish side’s main objective this summer transfer window and that the club have reached out to the player, and the response has been positive.
