Live from Sky Sports and confirmed by Fabrizio Romano – it’s official. Liverpool have pulled off one of the most sensational transfers in recent memory by signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a jaw-dropping £150 million deal. The Swedish striker has agreed to a five-year contract that will keep him at Anfield until 2030, instantly becoming one of the most expensive players in Premier League history.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the paperwork is already in motion. Isak is set to leave Spain tonight, where he has been on a short break, and will travel to Liverpool within the next 24 hours to undergo his medical and complete the move. Once the final details are wrapped up, Liverpool are expected to officially unveil their new No.9 before the weekend.
The deal is seen as a massive statement of intent from Arne Slot and the Liverpool board. With rivals strengthening across the league, the Reds have decided to go all-in on a striker they believe can fire them back to the top of English and European football. Isak, who has been on the radar of top clubs for months, now becomes the centerpiece of Slot’s new attacking era.
Liverpool fans have erupted in celebration across social media, with Anfield faithful flooding timelines with messages of joy. “We are ready for the Premier League now!” one fan wrote. Another declared: “£150 million well spent—this is the signing that changes everything!” The atmosphere around the club has shifted overnight, with the prospect of Isak linking up with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, and Luis Díaz sending shockwaves through the football world.
Arne Slot’s vision for Liverpool was clear from the start: a dynamic, lethal striker who could both score and create. Isak fits that profile perfectly. Known for his intelligent movement, silky footwork, and ice-cold finishing, the Swedish international has drawn comparisons to Thierry Henry for his ability to glide past defenders and deliver in big moments.
For Newcastle, the deal marks the end of an era. Isak was their marquee signing and a vital part of their rise under Eddie Howe. However, £150 million was an offer too big to refuse, especially under Financial Fair Play constraints.
Sky Sports reports that the deal includes performance-related bonuses that could take the total package even higher. Liverpool’s recruitment team have been working behind the scenes for weeks to secure this transfer, with Slot personally involved in convincing Isak to choose Anfield over other European giants.
As the striker prepares to fly in and put pen to paper, Liverpool’s ambitions are clear: they are coming for the Premier League title. Isak’s arrival signals a new chapter, a new weapon in the Reds’ arsenal, and a warning to every rival club.
From the Kop to every corner of Merseyside, the mood is electric. Liverpool have their man. The question now is not whether Alexander Isak can deliver—it’s how many defenders he’s about to destroy in a Liverpool shirt.
Anfield awaits. The Premier League just got a whole lot scarier.
