Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is on the verge of completing a historic transfer to Liverpool in what will become the most expensive deal in Premier League history.
According to The Daily Mail, Isak has already completed the first stage of his medical and is undergoing the second part today, with the official announcement expected later this evening between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. UK time—just before the close of the summer transfer window.
Reports indicate that Liverpool agreed a deal worth £125 million with Newcastle, rising to £130 million with add-ons. The Swedish international is set to sign a six-year contract at Anfield.
Sources close to Newcastle revealed that the club’s owners eventually gave the green light after Isak made it clear he wanted to leave. He had informed the management at the end of last season of his desire to move on, and in recent weeks, refused to train to push through the transfer.
Newcastle had made late attempts to convince their star striker to stay, including direct meetings with the ownership last week, but Isak remained determined to take on a new challenge with Liverpool.
The deal is expected to be officially confirmed within hours, making Isak the most expensive signing in both Liverpool’s history and the Premier League, following key departures.
