JUST IN: Newcastle have identifie top alternative as they’ve prepared for Isak Exit as Club Meets £135m Valuation with Jesus………
Newcastle United could be set to lose star striker Alexander Isak, as an unnamed English club has reportedly met the club’s £135 million valuation for the Swedish international. Isak, who joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, has been a standout performer at St James’ Park, netting 35 goals in two seasons and attracting interest from several Premier League giants.
The Magpies are reluctant to lose their top scorer, but the club’s financial strategy under current ownership includes being open to high-value sales to maintain squad balance and comply with financial regulations.
In anticipation of a potential departure, Newcastle have identified Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus as a leading candidate to replace Isak. The Brazilian, though battling injuries last season, remains a proven Premier League performer and could offer both versatility and experience.
Other forward options are also being explored, with Newcastle’s recruitment team working to ensure any exit does not leave a gap in Eddie Howe’s attacking plans. While no final decision has been made, the club is prepared to act quickly if Isak’s departure becomes imminent.
Fans will be watching closely as Newcastle navigate a pivotal moment in their summer transfer window.
