Liverpool FC have completed a record-breaking acquisition of Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a dramatic deadline-day move worth £130 million, as confirmed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The deal sets a new Premier League transfer benchmark and marks the first major marquee signing under new manager Arne Slot.
Isak, 25, enjoyed a prolific campaign last season, registering 21 goals in all competitions for Newcastle, cementing his reputation as one of Europe’s most clinical forwards. He is scheduled to undergo medicals on Monday before officially joining Liverpool’s squad.
The move significantly strengthens the Reds’ attacking options as they prepare for a highly competitive season, with Slot aiming to reassert Liverpool’s title credentials against rivals Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
A summary of reactions from football fans on social media describes the signing as a statement of intent from Liverpool’s hierarchy, underlining their determination to back the new manager with world-class talent.
Isak’s arrival is expected to provide both depth and dynamism to the frontline while also giving Liverpool an edge in what promises to be one of the most fiercely contested Premier League campaigns in recent years.
