Liverpool are reportedly set to complete the transfer of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak for £130m, according to Jan Aage Fjortoft.
The former player, who now works in football media, insists he’s hearing that everything is done for Isak to move to Liverpool for a huge fee.
It seems he expects an announcement won’t come just yet, but he says it’s likely very soon.

Re: Alexander Isak
Understand Isak – deal is done!
Newcastle away at Leeds tonight, so nothing expected before that I am told.
Fee expected to be around £130m
Isak to Liverpool likely to happen very soon

“Re: Alexander Isak Understand Isak – deal is done!” Fjortoft said. “Newcastle away at Leeds tonight, so nothing expected before that I am told. Fee expected to be around £130m Isak to Liverpool likely to happen very soon.”
Alternative source denies Alexander Isak to Liverpool transfer claim
For balance, the Daily Mail’s Dominic King says that any talk of the £130m transfer being done is not true, as the two clubs are not currently in talks…
? Liverpool HAVE NOT agreed a £130m deal with Newcastle for Aleksander Isak.
The clubs aren’t in talks and it’s misleading to suggest they are.
The only deal Liverpool may complete before Monday is Kostas Tsimikas to Roma; significant chance there won’t be any arrivals.

Perhaps this isn’t quite done yet, but one imagines it’s only a matter of time after so much speculation, along with Newcastle fuelling that speculation themselves by signing a new striker today.
Earlier today the Magpies officially announced the arrival of German striker Nick Woltemade in a club-record deal.
