In a major development, Alexander Isak is now ready to submit an official transfer request to leave Newcastle United as he pushes for a move to Liverpool, LeadNaija can confirm.
Multiple sources close to the deal reveal that the Swedish striker has already agreed on personal terms with Liverpool, signaling a clear desire to make the switch to Anfield this summer.
“Isak is fully aligned with Liverpool’s vision. He’s eager for a new challenge and wants this deal done quickly,” one source told LeadNaija.
Liverpool Move Gaining Momentum
With personal terms sorted, the ball is now in Newcastle’s court. The Magpies have so far been reluctant to part with their star striker, but growing pressure from the player may soon force negotiations.
Newcastle Preparing Plan B
Meanwhile, Newcastle aren’t caught off guard. Club insiders say they are already preparing bids for multiple striker targets in the event of Isak’s exit — especially with the Benjamin Sesko deal stalling, and Manchester United closing in.
The Magpies are actively scouting replacements, with a focus on pace, physicality, and finishing ability — key traits that made Isak a standout in their squad.
“Newcastle know they might lose Isak. They’re working fast to make sure they have someone lined up,” a source added.
Deal status:
- Personal terms agreed
- Transfer request imminent
- Newcastle working on replacements
