Liverpool have already broken their transfer record by signing midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a total fee of £107m including add-ons. But they are not done yet, as they are close to completing the purchase of striker Isak for up to £130m, setting a new transfer record in England.

If this deal is completed, the Anfield team will also set a record of spending a total of 450 million pounds (about 16,013 billion VND) in this summer's transfer window.

This huge amount of money has helped Liverpool bring 10 new players to Anfield (including Isak) in just the past few months. Previously, prominent names such as Jeremie Frimpong, Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike have won the trust of the team's fans.

Isak's presence will make Liverpool's attack extremely scary, in which Salah and Cody Gakpo are still important strikers. It is expected that on September 1, Isak will be granted permission by Newcastle to go to Liverpool to complete the procedures for his blockbuster transfer.

Isak went on strike for Newcastle during the transfer window to secure a move to Liverpool. However, it was only on the last day of the transfer window (which ended on September 2, Vietnam time) that the North East English club accepted his departure, with his contract still valid until June 2028, according to transfer experts Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein. In three seasons at Newcastle, Isak scored a total of 62 goals in 109 matches.

Coming to Liverpool, Isak is expected to sign a 6-year long-term contract, with a significant salary increase, around 300,000 pounds/week.

At Newcastle, the 25-year-old Swede only receives around £120,000/week. To replace Isak, Newcastle has now bought striker Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart for a fee of £69 million.
