Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been one of the most talked-about players in the Premier League this season.

The Swedish forward has been in incredible form, scoring 17 goals in the league while also providing five assists.

His performances have caught the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs, with Arsenal, Barcelona, and Liverpool all monitoring his situation.

Liverpool, in particular, are seriously considering a move.

With uncertainty surrounding Darwin Nunez’s future, manager Arne Slot is looking for a proven goal-scorer to lead the attack.

Isak fits the profile perfectly, quick, strong, and clinical in front of goal.

His numbers back up the hype.

He ranks in the top 10% of Premier League strikers for key stats, including non-penalty goals, expected goals, progressive carries, and shot-creating actions.

Newcastle, however, are not eager to sell.

They see Isak as their key player for the future and want to build around him.

Manager Eddie Howe has played a major role in his development, regularly meeting with him one-on-one to improve his game.

But despite Newcastle’s confidence, the growing interest in Isak could force them into difficult decisions.

Alexander Isak asking price revealed

According to The i Paper, “an asking price of £150m has been speculated, which would smash the British transfer record.”

That figure is meant to deter potential buyers, with the Magpies determined to keep him.

Arsenal are interested, but former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes doesn’t believe it would be the right move for Isak.

Isak, meanwhile, is reportedly “very interested” in a move to Anfield.

Liverpool’s consistent Champions League presence and trophy ambitions make them an attractive option.

However, Newcastle are expected to begin contract negotiations in the summer to try and keep him at St?

James’ Park.

With Newcastle reportedly unwilling to sell for less than a British-record fee, Liverpool would likely need to offload players before making a move.

Whether they are willing to go all in remains to be seen, but one thing is clear, getting Isak won’t be easy.
