Isak is set to cost a new British record fee, with Newcastle demanding over twice as much as the £63m they paid Real Sociedad three years ago. He could cost as much as £150m if Newcastle play hardball. It remains to be seen whether or not Liverpool can afford such a spend outright this summer, but those funds may yet be raised through three deals.

Alexander Isak is now one of the most sought-after players of the summer. While Newcastle is eager to keep their star striker, both Liverpool and Al Hilal are ready to break transfer records to sign him.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe says the settling of Alexander Isak's future at St James' Park "has to be right for Newcastle". The 25-year-old striker is considering his future at the club amid interest from Premier League champions Liverpool.
