Alexander Isak, in sensational form for Newcastle United, is attracting interest from top European clubs. The Swedish striker is valued at €180M, making him one of the most expensive players in history.

Alexander Isak, the 25-year-old Swedish striker, is the latest name in the transfer spotlight following a string of brilliant performances in the Premier League. Isak has scored 11 goals in 16 league matches this season, including seven goals in his last six appearances, and has also contributed four assists. His red-hot form for Newcastle United and the Swedish national team has caught the attention of several European heavyweights.

Isak has long been on the radar of top clubs. Arsenal made a move for him last summer, while Chelsea has now entered the race. Paris Saint-Germain is also monitoring the striker, with reports suggesting Real Madrid and Barcelona could join the competition as well.

However, any potential suitor will need to break the bank. According to The Telegraph, Newcastle has slapped a staggering €180 million price tag on Isak—a fee that matches what PSG paid for Kylian Mbappé, making it one of the highest transfer valuations in football history. Only Neymar’s €222 million move from Barcelona to PSG has exceeded this amount.

Newcastle’s stance on Isak

Newcastle’s firm valuation of Isak reflects their ambition and financial strength under their Saudi-backed ownership. The club paid €70 million to sign him from Real Sociedad in 2022, a then-record for Newcastle, and they have no intention of letting their star striker leave cheaply.

Isak’s prolific form, combined with Newcastle’s rising stature, makes him one of the most sought-after forwards in the game. Whether Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG, or another club will meet Newcastle’s sky-high demands remains to be seen, but the battle for his signature is sure to dominate the upcoming transfer window.
