Chelsea are ready to break to bank and fork out around €100 million to sign Newcastle attacking sensation Alexander Isak.
Chelsea’s search for a new number nine continues and according to a report from Fichajes, the Blues are interested in acquiring the services of Alexander Isak. They are ready to offer close to €100 million to sign the Swedish international from Newcastle United.
Isak made a name for himself while playing for Real Sociedad before making the move to the Magpies in the summer of 2022. The Magpies invested as they saw immense potential in the Swedish striker and he has surely lived up to the expectations.
The 25-year-old has gone from strength to strength over the years and has established himself as one of the mainstays in the team under Eddie Howe. He is one of the first names on their team sheet. The Swedish international has six goals and three assists in his 14 matches this season.
His consistent performances in the English top flight have resulted in a significant amount of interest from across. Multiple top clubs from England have also been linked with Isak and Chelsea are believed to be one of them.
Chelsea want to add Isak to their squad
The Blues haven’t been at their best in the final third in recent seasons. While they have made an impressive start to life under Enzo Maresca and the attack has been making significant contributions, the London club are still considering signing a new striker to take things to the next level.
They want to bring in a world-class striker who can help them compete with the best team in England and Europe. Isak is one of the names on their wishlist and the club are looking to test Newcastle’s resolve in the near future with a massive €100 million offer.
The Tyneside club do not want to part ways with one of their best players but the massive fee will surely make them think twice. Howe’s team could look to sanction his departure and use the record fee to bolster other areas on the pitch. With Chelsea all set to push for his signature, this transfer saga is surely one to keep an eye on.
