Breaking News: Alexander Izak Re-sign With Newcastle United After Stunning Agreement…..Read more
Newcastle United’s hopes of securing the long-term future of star striker Alexander Isak have taken a dramatic turn, as the Swedish international has rejected a new contract offer from the club. Despite reports suggesting a stunning agreement had been reached, the truth is far more complex and troubling for the Magpies.
Isak, 25, has been one of Newcastle’s standout performers since his arrival from Real Sociedad in 2022, becoming a fan favourite with his pace, flair, and clinical finishing. However, tensions between the player and the club have escalated in recent weeks. According to multiple reliable sources, including Reuters and Football Transfers, Isak has turned down Newcastle’s improved contract offer—reportedly worth around £200,000 per week—with demands closer to £300,000 per week.
The collapse in negotiations has fuelled serious transfer speculation, especially as Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United continue to monitor his situation. Liverpool have allegedly tabled an offer in the region of £110 million, potentially rising to £130 million, but Newcastle have so far refused to sell.
Manager Eddie Howe has addressed the media about the situation, calling it a “lose-lose scenario”. Speaking last week, Howe admitted that the ongoing uncertainty is disrupting the squad’s focus and pre-season planning. Newcastle are now facing a race against time, with the transfer window set to close on September 1, 2025. If Isak is to leave, the club will need to secure a high-quality replacement quickly—no easy task given the late stage of the window.
