Liverpool have finally completed the signing of Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a deal worth a British-record £125 million, bringing an end to one of the summer’s most protracted transfer sagas.

The 24-year-old joins on a six-year contract and becomes the Reds’ marquee arrival of the window. For Newcastle, the final package is closer to £130 million, with Isak reportedly waiving solidarity payments to help push the transfer through.

Isak Forces the Move

Isak made no secret of his desire to leave St James’ Park, going as far as refusing to play in order to secure the switch. Liverpool initially saw a £110 million bid rejected outright, but renewed talks in the final 24 hours led to a breakthrough agreement at the record fee.

Speaking after completing his move, Isak said:
“I feel amazing. It’s been a long journey to get here, but I’m proud to be part of this club and everything it stands for. I can’t wait to meet my teammates, the fans, and get to work on the pitch.”

Liverpool’s Big Summer Statement

Isak’s arrival caps a huge window for Liverpool as they reinforce their title-winning squad. Florian Wirtz arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in another major deal, while Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong bolstered the full-back positions. Young defender Giovanni Leoni and forward Hugo Ekitike also joined, with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili finally making his pre-agreed switch.

Despite high-profile departures, including Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, and Darwin Núñez, Liverpool look stronger than ever in attack. Isak, their new record signing, is expected to be the long-term focal point of the frontline as Arne Slot’s side aim to dominate both domestically and in Europe.
