Liverpool has reached a verbal agreement with Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak over a long-term contract, Sky Sports Deutschland reports.
While a club-to-club agreement remains a long way off, Isak’s desire to make the move to Anfield could change that in the coming weeks.
According to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, the 25-year-old’s salary would be similar to that of forward Hugo Ekitiké, who joined Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this month. Newcastle are expected to demand a transfer fee well over £100 million for Isak, who has another three years left on his contract.
Meanwhile, sources have told ESPN that Isak is training on his own at former club Real Sociedad. Newcastle have cited a “minor thigh injury” as the reason behind Isak’s absence from the team’s tour of Asia. Enditem
