The “Magpies” want to fend off all attempts to bring Swedish striker Alexander Isak to other Premier League giants with a simple manoeuvre.
Alexander Isak has become one of Newcastle United’s most important players and a piece in the club’s sporting project. The 25-year-old Swede has not only performed at a high level in the Premier League, but has also attracted interest from several English big clubs – which has caused unrest at St James’ Park.

Newcastle landed in 5th place in the Premier League, which this season gives Champions League qualification. – The goal for next season is to do well in the world’s most important tournament and ensure at least the top four next year in the Premier League.
Then they cannot lose Alexander Isak, who several big clubs have signalled they want to buy for around 100 million euros.
By addressing the situation, Newcastle’s management will now take steps to secure the player for the long term. According to The Times, the club is preparing a contract extension that includes a significant salary increase, with the goal of making Isak the highest-paid player in the club’s history. – That means at least £160,000 which is Bruno Guimarães’ salary.

Premier League giants dream of signing
The intention is clear: to tie down the striker and ward off the temptation of an exit in the upcoming transfer windows. Isak joined the English club from Real Sociedad and has responded with goals, strength and personality – factors that have put him on the radar of clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Newcastle, fully aware of his importance and the growing interest from outside, aim to build their project around the Nordic striker. The contract extension aims not only to keep him in the team, but also to send a signal to the market: Alexander Isak is not for sale, and on Tyneside they are willing to do anything to keep their star.
