JUST IN: Liverpool Second Isak ‘offer’ amount revealed as ‘minimum’ Newcastle demand comes to light
Liverpool are reportedly preparing to table a fresh bid for Swedish striker Alexander Isak, with new information emerging over the minimum fee Newcastle United are willing to accept this summer.
Just a few months ago, the prospect of Isak leaving St James’ Park appeared remote. Newcastle, buoyed by their qualification for the Champions League, made it clear the 24-year-old forward was not for sale under any circumstances. The Magpies viewed him as central to their long-term project and a player around whom they could build their attack.
However, Liverpool’s interest has dramatically altered the situation. Following an initial approach from the Merseyside giants, Isak informed Newcastle of his desire to leave and make the move to Anfield. This admission marked a turning point in the saga, with the player now actively pushing for the transfer.
The Reds tested Newcastle’s resolve earlier in the summer with a £110 million bid, but the offer was swiftly rejected. Newcastle’s stance at that stage remained firm: no deal unless an exceptional proposal was made. Since then, Liverpool have been patient, working behind the scenes to gauge whether the Magpies might soften their position — especially as Eddie Howe’s side continue to explore possible replacements in attack.
Italian transfer insider Nicola Schira has now reported that Liverpool are set to submit a new official bid after reaching an agreement on personal terms with Isak. Writing on X, Schira stated:
> “Alexander Isak has not changed his plans: he still wants to leave Newcastle and has asked to be sold. Isak has agreed personal terms with Liverpool as revealed and is pushing to join LFC. The Reds are set to submit a new official bid to NUFC.”
Adding to the intrigue, former Manchester United and Tottenham scout Mick Brown, who retains strong Premier League connections, has shed light on the financial threshold that could finally persuade Newcastle to part with their star striker. Speaking to Football Insider, Brown revealed:
> “Newcastle aren’t being held to ransom. They don’t want to let Isak go, but if he’s going to keep pushing and refusing to play, I expect they’ll be prepared to accept an offer.
Liverpool are going to come in with another bid because they still want to bring him in. That offer will likely be upwards of £120 million — that’s the minimum Newcastle are asking for.”
Brown explained that while Liverpool’s previous £110m attempt fell short, a bid in the region of £120m or more could be enough to break the deadlock. From Liverpool’s perspective, the situation is promising: they have the player’s commitment and know he is eager to make the switch.
With Newcastle facing the dilemma of keeping an unsettled player or cashing in for a record-breaking fee, the next few days could be pivotal. If Liverpool meet the Magpies’ valuation, Isak’s dream move to Anfield may soon become reality — a deal that would be one of the most high-profile transfers of the summer window.
