Isak's case takes a dizzying turn

The Alexander Isak deal took another unexpected turn when the Newcastle striker was pursued by a number of clubs in the summer transfer window of 2025.

Isak has become a hot commodity as he looks to leave Newcastle.

Isak's future is uncertain at the moment as he has told the club he wants to explore new destinations in the summer transfer window. Liverpool have maintained their interest in the 25-year-old striker, despite spending £70m to sign Hugo Ekitike.

However, coach Arne Slot's team will face competition from domestic rivals, especially Chelsea. According to The Independent , Chelsea do not want to miss this opportunity when the Stamford Bridge team has strong enough financial resources to carry out the deal.

Chelsea have already signed two strikers, Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and Joao Pedro from Brighton. However, the London club are still monitoring Isak's situation. Chelsea often make surprise moves and it would not be surprising if they make an offer soon.

Isak's preferred option is Liverpool at the moment, but things are very uncertain. Al Hilal from the Saudi Pro League are also in the race and have been in direct contact with Newcastle. The possibility of joining Al Hilal is said to be "difficult", but Isak has not closed the door on a move to the Middle East.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is hopeful of keeping Isak in his squad next season, but admitted it would be "absurd" to commit the striker to St James' Park. Isak is believed to cost around £150m, making him the most expensive signing of the summer.
