Newcastle United\u2019s striker Alexander Isak has already made his mind of leaving the club after he didn\u2019t travel with the team for the pre-season tour. Liverpool who are into Isak since start of the window, is in negotiations. But there are reports suggesting that Newcastle have demanded a Premier League-record fee of \u20ac172 million for the striker. Isak has been named as one of the prolific strikers in the league, but looking at this price tag, the Reds seem to be backing off.<\/p>\n
Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has reportedly made up his mind to leave the club this summer after he was left out of the squad for their pre-season tour. According to Craig Hope of Daily Mail, the Swedish forward is pushing for a move, with Liverpool leading the chase since the start of the transfer window.<\/p>\n
However, negotiations have hit a major roadblock. Newcastle have slapped a staggering \u20ac172 million price tag on the 24-year-old, a figure that would set a new Premier League record. While Isak has proven himself as one of the most clinical forwards in the league, scoring 21 goals last season, this valuation has raised eyebrows,even among big clubs like Liverpool.<\/p>\n
The Reds are reportedly reconsidering their pursuit, believing the asking price is excessive despite their admiration for Isak\u2019s talent and potential.<\/p>\n
Is Isak worth \u20ac172 million? While he\u2019s undoubtedly among the top strikers in England, boasting pace, technical finesse, and lethal finishing, the fee being demanded seems inflated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
