Newcastle United are growing increasingly certain that striker Alexander Isak will remain with the club for the upcoming campaign, despite mounting speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool.
According to reports, discussions between interested parties have lacked substance, prompting Newcastle to maintain a firm stance that the player has no intention of leaving.
Born in Solna to Eritrean parents, Isak’s heritage has long been a source of pride both for himself and the Eritrean-Swedish community.
Recent media attention has linked the 25‑year‑old with a switch to Liverpool, but both club sources and coverage in the Telegraph describe such rumours as “greatly exaggerated”.
With Newcastle securing a place in next season’s Champions League, the Magpies and the player seem content to continue their collaboration.
Newcastle’s confidence is further bolstered by Isak’s long-term contract, which runs through 2028, and the club’s clear financial position following resolution of recent Profit and Sustainability Rule issues.
Reports suggest that Liverpool would need to table an offer in the region of £150 million—or even approach the £200 million Neymar record—to tempt Newcastle into selling.
As such, sources within the club believe the rumours are baseless.
The sentiment appears shared by Isak himself, who has publicly reaffirmed his commitment to Newcastle.
He expressed pride in the team’s achievement of Champions League qualification and emphasised his focus remains on performance, not transfer speculation.
