Newcastle United are ready to put up a fight against Arsenal and Liverpool for Alexander Isak, with the club ready to break their wage structure.
According to TBR, Newcastle United are ready to pull all stops in their efforts to keep hold of Alexander Isak in the summer. Amid interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, the Magpies are open to breaking their wage structure to make the Swede the highest-paid player in the club’s history.
Alexander Isak was the star at Wembley on Sunday when his goal ensured Newcastle United lifted their first trophy in over seventy years. The Magpies are eager to follow the positive momentum into figuring out a new deal for the Swedish striker, who has had another stellar campaign with the club.
Eddie Howe has been adamant about keeping Isak for the longer term future, although Newcastle United faces massive challenges ahead in their efforts to hold on to the forward. There’s big interest from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, with the managers at both clubs considering the Swede as their top target for the summer.
Arsenal are willing to offer a big sum to tempt Newcastle United into selling. Mikel Arteta considers the Swede as his top target and will urge the club to pull all stops in their efforts to sign the 25-year-old star, as Liverpool ar their biggest competitor in the market.
Unlike Arsenal, Liverpool may have to offload one of their current forwards before making the move for Isak. The Reds have contacted his entourage over a deal, with Isak expected to join one of those English giants in the close season.
Newcastle United ready to break wage structure
Newcastle United are not leaving the field without a fight, as the club are eager to keep hold of the striker. The Magpies are willing to break their wage structure and make Isak the highest-paid player in the club’s history, especially if they make the Champions League next season.
The magpies are eager to seal a new contract before the season ends, although Isak might wait for the campaign to conclude before deciding his future. The 25-year-old star is reportedly waiting to see if Newcastle United play in the Champions League next season, which for now is well within their hands, as a failure to do so might lead to an unprecedented exit from the club.
