The Premier League transfer fee record is reportedly set to be broken.
Liverpool will spend nearly $170 million (£125 million) to sign star striker Alexander Isak from league rivals Newcastle United, according to the BBC.
According to the Athletic, Isak’s deal will set a new Premier League transfer record, surpassing Chelsea’s $131 million (£106 million) signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica in January 2023. Liverpool’s deal for Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer was for an initial fee of $133 million (£100 million), which could increase an additional $21 million.
Isak will undergo a medical on Monday to complete the deal ahead of the Sept. 1 transfer deadline date.
It continues to be a summer splurge for Liverpool, who won the Premier League last season. The club has spent a reported $393 million (£291 million) to bolster their squad with top names like Germany’s Florian Wirtz, the Netherlands’ Jeremie Frimpong and French youngster Hugo Ekitike. If the Isak deal does get finalized, it could put Liverpool’s spending at over $461 million (£400 million).
Isak scored 27 goals in 42 appearances for Newcastle last season, only finishing behind Liverpool stalwart Mohamed Salah’s 29 goals in the Premier League.
