Liverpool have completed the £125million signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, the deal finally announced at 930pm on Monday night, two and a half hours after the deadline
Newcastle United have released an ice cold message after selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool for a British record fee.
The deal, which Liverpool insist is consisting them £125m and which Newcastle say is worth £130m to them, went through after a frantic last 24 hours of the window with Isak now a Liverpool player and reporting for Sweden duty for the World Cup qualifiers.
But Newcastle were in no mood for kind words as they announced his exit, stopping short of a good luck message after the striker refused to play or train this summer. Instead, they issued a short 37-word statement last night.
A short statement read: „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.“
And without the usual good luck message on the bottom the statement then followed, simply with: „Ends“.

Isak told Liverpoolfc.com: „I feel amazing. It’s been a long journey to get here. But I’m super-happy to be a part of this team, this club and everything it stands for. It’s something I’m proud of and I’m really looking forward to it.
„I’m just happy it’s done and that I can get back to work. I’m looking forward to seeing my teammates and the fans, and getting back out there.
„I think I have a lot to give, I think I have a lot to improve. I’m a striker but I always want to give as much as possible to the team, mainly goals but much more than that as well. I want to win everything.“
Isak went on: „Me getting the chance to be a part of this, I want to create history. I want to win trophies. That’s ultimately the biggest motivation for me and I feel like this is the perfect place for me to grow even further and to take my game to the next level and help the team as well.
„I feel like this is the next step for me in my career. I’m super-happy that I’ve been given this chance and I’m very motivated to do something well with it.“
