Hello to friends at CaughtOffside, I’m here to provide an update on the situation of Alexander Isak and what Liverpool and Newcastle United are thinking at the moment.
The transfer saga surrounding Alexander Isak is quickly becoming one of the defining stories of this summer’s window, with Liverpool’s interest in the Swedish striker showing no signs of fading.
Despite weeks of speculation, the Reds remain fully committed to making Isak their marquee attacking addition, but the outcome rests firmly in Newcastle United’s hands.
Liverpool’s recruitment team has made it clear that Isak, who scored 27 goals last season, is their top target, and no alternative has yet displaced him from that position.

The Anfield hierarchy are biding their time, hoping that Newcastle’s stance will shift, allowing negotiations to progress. For now, the Magpies remain reluctant sellers, though there are signs that the situation could change.
From the player’s perspective, his intentions are crystal clear. Sources close to Isak insist he is determined to move to Liverpool and has no interest in extending his contract at St. James’ Park.
Manager Eddie Howe has publicly stated he only wants players committed to the club, comments that have been interpreted as a subtle acknowledgement of the growing tension between player and management.
Isak’s unwavering desire to join the Premier League champions has turned this into a high-stakes standoff. Liverpool’s recent sale of Darwin Nunez to Al Hilal has only heightened their need for a top-tier striker, further solidifying Isak as their priority.
