Newcastle Unwilling to Accept Liverpool Player in Deal for £150M-Rated PSG Target | OneFootball

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

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

Liverpool are also eyeing the Swedish striker. Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri says the club has already opened talks with his representatives. The Reds are reportedly preparing a big bid and may even break from their usual transfer approach to secure the 25-year-old.

Newcastle is said to have set Isak’s price at €180 million (£150 million), a fee that would make him Liverpool’s record signing, surpassing the £85 million they paid for Darwin Núñez in 2022.

Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona are interested in Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and could also make a move for Isak.

GIVE ME SPORT reported Thursday, citing sources, that Newcastle United have ruled out any deal with Liverpool if Anfield’s recruitment team attempts to sign Isak by offering Núñez in return when the transfer window opens this summer.

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, recently reported that Liverpool are ready to break their club transfer record—set when they signed Núñez—to bring Alexander Isak to Anfield.

Isak is Liverpool’s top target for the summer transfer window, and they feel confident they can beat Arsenal to secure the in-form striker.
