Reds agree Isak deal with Newcastle for a record fee

Premier League champions Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a British record transfer fee, media reports said yesterday.

- 

The Swedish forward is set to join the Reds in a deal worth about £130 million (US$176 million), according to reports by The Athletic and The Telegraph, among other outlets.

The Athletic reported that Isak will undergo a medical tonight before completing a six-year deal with the Merseyside club.

The fee will set a new Premier League transfer record, exceeding the £106 million that Chelsea paid Benfica for Enzo Fernandez in 2023, the reports said.

Isak, 25, scored 23 goals in the Premier League last season — behind only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah — as Newcastle qualified for the Champions League.
