Liverpool finally concluded an agreement for a record transfer of 125 million pounds Sterling ($ 169 million) for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
BBC Sport is one of the sources that report that an agreement has been concluded for the Swedish striker to leave St James' Park for Anfield, at the end of a transfer window dominated by speculation concerning his future.
Liverpool saw an offer of 110 million pounds sterling ($ 149 million) rejected earlier this summer, Newcastle being reluctant to separate from a precious player bound by contract. Isak, however, clearly indicated that he wanted to leave Tyneside.
An agreement was reached for the prolific Swedish striker
A big expenditure for the champions of the Premier League
The 25-year-old withdrew from training at some point, working alone, after being excluded from Eddie Howe's pre-season plans because of an alleged “minor injury to the thigh”. Isak said that promises had been “broken” and that his “relationship with the Magpies could not continue”.
A long saga is coming to an end
While a new deadline is fast approaching, Isak seems ready to achieve his wish and join the champions in the title of the Premier League. Newcastle reluctantly accepted a sale after recruiting the German striker Nick Woltemade for a record contract.
According to some information, Isak will have a medical examination on Monday before signing a six -year contract in Merseyside. He will become the most expensive player in British football and will conclude a summer rich in spending on the ambitious Liverpool of Arne Slot.
