Liverpool have reached an agreement with Newcastle United to sign Alexander Isak in a deal worth a record-breaking £130 million, making it the most expensive transfer in Premier League history.
The Swedish striker, 24, is set to undergo his medical and sign a six-year contract that will keep him at Anfield until 2031. Both clubs exchanged documents overnight, and an official announcement is expected later today.
Liverpool will pay £125 million directly, with the final figure rising to £130 million once solidarity payments are included. The move eclipses previous records in England’s top flight, underlining Liverpool’s determination to strengthen their attack.
Isak has been one of Newcastle’s standout performers since arriving from Real Sociedad in 2022. His pace, finishing and ability to lead the line have made him a fan favourite at St James’ Park, where he scored consistently in the Premier League and European competitions.
Now, he becomes the centrepiece of Liverpool’s next era as they look to maintain their place among Europe’s elite. With his medical scheduled for today, the deal is expected to be completed before the transfer deadline closes.
