According to new reports, Paris Saint-Germain are preparing a huge summer bid for Newcastle star Alexander Isak who has attracted interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
It will be tough for the Magpies to keep hold of Isak this summer due to the amount of interest in him. It has been said that they would be willing to sell the striker, if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Eddie Howe’s side are currently sixth in the Premier League table, two points off Chelsea in fifth, which is expected to be a spot to qualify for the Champions League.

Arsenal and Liverpool have both been strongly linked to Isak, who Newcastle are set to price at well over £100 million. However, according to new reports, PSG are now in line to move for him.
According to French outlet RMC Sport, the French club will not be discouraged by Newcastle’s high price for Isak, and could offer three players in a huge swap deal.
The report says that they could offer strikers Randal Kolo Muani, and Goncalo Ramos, alongside Aston Villa loanee Marc Asensio in exchange for Isak.
The deal would be an intriguing proposal for Newcastle who would get a lot of value back – the combined market value of the three is estimated to be worth £100 million according to TransferMarkt.
PSG interest could provide big blow for Arsenal and Liverpool
It is significant that the Ligue 1 giants are keen on signing Isak, due to the fact that Newcastle would much rather see him leave for a club in a different league to the Premier League.
Seeing as they will have to compete with Arsenal and Liverpool both in the league and for cup competitions, Newcastle would possibly take a slightly lesser offer to send Isak to PSG instead.
Regardless of how good the offer is or isn’t, if the Magpies do qualify for the Champions League, Isak would only likely leave if he requested a move, something that isn’t expected to happen.
