Newcastle release blunt 37-word statement as they announce Alexander Isak’s record Liverpool transfer

Newcastle United have confirmed the departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool in a British-record transfer worth 130 million. The 25-year-old Swedish striker, who forced through the move after refusing to train with his teammates in August, sealed the transfer late on deadline day with Liverpool submitting a deal sheet to finalise the signing beyond the 7pm window. Newcastle marked the exit with a blunt 37-word statement, saying: Newcastle United can announce the sale of striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool for a significant British record transfer fee. The Sweden international joined the Magpies from Real Sociedad in 2022 and made 109 appearances in all competitions. The Magpies reluctantly sanctioned the transfer after bringing in Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart and completing a 55m move for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. The reshuffle also comes after the release of Callum Wilson, who has since joined West Ham. Isak, who wore Newcastle colours for two seasons, described his move to Liverpool as the next step in his career, telling the clubs official website that he was motivated by the history of Anfield and the chance to win trophies. I want to create history. I want to win trophies. Thats ultimately the biggest motivation for me and I feel like this is the perfect place for me to grow even further, he said. Isak will wear the No. 9 shirt for Liverpool as the clubs record signing.The post Newcastle release blunt 37-word statement as they announce Alexander Isaks record Liverpool transfer appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
