🚨 Liverpool Ready to SMASH British Transfer Record for Isak if Contract Drama Erupts! 🔥
🚨 Shocking Twist Incoming? Liverpool Could SMASH British Transfer Record for Isak if Contract Chaos Erupts! 💣
Liverpool Could Break British Transfer Record Again – But Only If Contract Stand-Off Tips Their Way
Liverpool may be gearing up for another seismic transfer splash this summer — potentially eclipsing the British record once more — if contract talks between Newcastle United and star striker Alexander Isak fall apart.
According to Graeme Bailey (via Rousing the Kop), Newcastle are scrambling to secure Isak on a new long-term deal. But with no agreement yet in sight, Liverpool are quietly observing from the shadows, ready to pounce if the Sweden international refuses to commit.
> “Isak has always been a target. I trust my sources on this – what we’re hearing is very real,” Bailey shared confidently.
The 25-year-old hitman enjoyed a stunning campaign last season, bagging 27 goals and scoring the winner in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool — further justifying the Reds’ interest in his services.
> “Newcastle are prepared to smash their wage structure to keep him,” Bailey added, “but Liverpool are tracking the situation closely, and a decision is expected soon.”
This isn’t the first time reports have surfaced claiming Newcastle are ready to break the bank to hold onto their prized striker. Their urgency only highlights how critical Isak is to their project.
For Liverpool, with doubts still swirling around Darwin Núñez’s long-term future and Slot’s wavering trust in him, a marquee No.9 might just be the final piece to elevate the squad again.
Liverpool have already sent shockwaves through the football world with their record-breaking £116m capture of Florian Wirtz — but according to Graeme Bailey, the spending spree might not end there.
> “Liverpool have now set the new British transfer record,” Bailey noted.
“It would take a similar offer to pry Isak away from Newcastle — but it’s definitely on the cards.”
“I believe a deal in the range of £120–130m could be possible, but only if he turns down the contract currently on the table.”
Bailey also mentioned that Liverpool are continuing to explore other attacking targets, aligning with the club’s broader mission to revamp their forward line this summer.
Should Alexander Isak reject Newcastle’s offer, it could pave the way for another historic move by the Reds. Signed for £63m in 2022, Isak wouldn’t come cheap — but his age, proven Premier League quality, and eye for goal make him a rare and valuable prospect.
Ultimately, much may depend on whether the Swedish striker decides to hold firm. And Liverpool certainly won’t be the only club hoping those contract negotiations hit a dead end.
