As a result, the Magpies are working on a contract extension that will keep Isak at St. James’ Park for the foreseeable future. This news will be music to the ears of Newcastle fans, who have been impressed by the Swede’s speed, technical skills, and clinical finishing.
PSG and Liverpool Reportedly Interested in Isak
According to reports, PSG manager Luis Enrique is reportedly interested in Isak, as the Swedish striker’s attributes fit the attacking style Enrique wants to bring to the French capital. Meanwhile, FootballTransfers has reported that while Arsenal also admire Isak, Liverpool are said to be the most determined suitors and currently have the upper hand in a potential move.
Record-Breaking Contract Extension on the Cards?
According to finance expert Stefan Borson, Newcastle United is set to offer Isak the biggest contract in the club’s history to keep him at St James’ Park. Borson believes that the Magpies’ high valuation of the Swedish striker, coupled with the lack of clubs that can afford a transfer fee over £100 million, makes it highly unlikely that Isak will leave the club anytime soon.
Former Newcastle star Alan Shearer has also weighed in, stating that Isak’s value could exceed £150 million due to his outstanding form. Shearer believes Chelsea might have an edge over Arsenal in the race to sign him, but warns the Blues to tread carefully as his price could keep climbing.
The bottom line is that Isak is firmly established as one of the best players in the Premier League, and Newcastle are determined to keep him at the club for the foreseeable future. With a record-breaking contract extension on the cards, the Magpies are clearly making a bold statement about their ambition and the importance of retaining their top talent.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it will be intriguing to see how the Isak saga unfolds and whether any of the interested clubs can tempt the Swede away from his current home at St. James’ Park.
