There’s nothing ongoing between Alexander Isak and Al Hilal now.Isak has already turned down Saudi options, he said no as his wish remains to play at the highest level in Europe.The

Dan Burn did not hold back. Speaking while on international tour duty, the Newcastle defender laid bare how crucial Alexander Isak is to Eddie Howe’s project. With Liverpool circling and speculation reaching fever pitch, Burn captured the mood inside the camp: one of apprehension and unease, shared by a recent report by GOAL.COM.

Just because Liverpool could most likely afford Alexander Isak this summer, doesn’t mean they will sign the Newcastle star. After all, they have just recruited an exciting, young centre-forward who shares similar characteristics with the Swede, and a fee of £120–150 million could still dissuade them from pursuing a deal.

Alexander Isak has been linked with a summer switch to Liverpool after informing Newcastle United of his desire to leave.

If any club has the funds to pull off this deal, it is Al Hilal. Not only are they one of the four clubs owned by Saudi Arabia’s Private Investment Fund (PIF), but they also benefit from the support of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who can help underwrite exceptional deals such as this one.

Liverpool have been very active in the ongoing summer transfer window. The Reds broke their club transfer record when they brought in Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £116.5 million.

Liverpool have been backed to sell Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez in order to land Alexander Isak from Newcastle.

Alexander Isak seeks a move away from Newcastle while Viktor Gyokeres will join Arsenal this weekend and Man City are set to re-sign goalkeeper James Trafford.
