Liverpool have reportedly sealed a deal for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.
The Merseysiders are understood to have agreed a fee of £130m for the Sweden international.
This follows the Magpies’ successful acquisition of Bayern Munich target Nick Woltemade in the summer transfer window.

Viaplay’s Jan Aage Fjortoft now reports on X (formerly Twitter) that the ‘deal is done’ between Liverpool and Newcastle for Isak.
An official announcement will likely be delayed until after the northeast outfit’s upcoming Premier League clash against promoted side Leeds United at 5:30pm on Saturday.
Re: Alexander Isak
Understand Isak – deal is done!
Newcastle away at Leeds tonight, so nothing expected before that I am told.
Fee will be £130m
Isak to Liverpool likely to happen very soon

The report has yet to be corroborated by patch journalists either in Merseyside or Tyneside. However, it’s worth pointing out that said reporters have yet to disregard it either.
With Woltemade having been officially sealed as a likely Isak successor, there was always a possibility that the door would open to Liverpool. Even if only a fraction!
If Newcastle also manage to achieve a breakthrough in negotiations with Wolves over Jørgen Strand Larsen, we just can’t envisage a world where the Sweden international doesn’t end up at Anfield this summer.
