Liverpool have completed the sensational signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a British-record £125 million deal on Transfer Deadline Day. The blockbuster move eclipses the £115m Chelsea paid Brighton for Moisés Caicedo two summers ago, making it the most expensive transfer in English football history.
The 25-year-old Swedish striker, who had been at the centre of speculation in recent weeks, has penned a six-year contract at Anfield, reportedly worth around £300,000 per week. His arrival comes as part of Liverpool’s massive summer rebuild, which has already seen the club spend more than £446 million, including the earlier record-breaking capture of German star Florian Wirtz.
Isak’s move marks a dramatic twist in Deadline Day proceedings after Newcastle initially resisted selling their talisman. However, Liverpool’s persistence and financial muscle eventually secured the transfer, reinforcing their attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season.
The signing not only strengthens Jürgen Klopp’s squad but also sends shockwaves across European football, underlining Liverpool’s intent to reclaim domestic and continental glory.
