Alexander Isak Transfer from Newcastle United to Arsenal

Arsenal is interested in Alexander Isak. However, Newcastle does not intend to let go of their player who had the best season of his career in the Premier League, with 21 goals in 30 league matches. Despite pronounced interest, Arsenal reportedly abandoned the pursuit after Newcastle's categorical refusal.

Alexander Isak, a 24-year-old Swedish striker, is one of the best scorers in the league. However, prying him away from Newcastle would require a monstrous offer of at least 100 million pounds, as his contract expires in 2028 and Newcastle has no intention of letting him go. If Arsenal secures sufficient funding and the player insists on leaving, there is a small chance he could join Arsenal.

Arsenal are still interested in Isak and could match his asking price, but they are expected to prioritize a move for a midfielder.

Arsenal continue to take a serious interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, but the prospect of the Gunners completing a deal is slim. Arsenal can afford to match Newcastle’s asking price of £110 million (€130m), but they are likely to prioritize a move in midfield instead. Newcastle may be willing to drop their price if Arsenal include Aaron Ramsdale in the deal, but Arsenal is hesitant to let the England keeper leave.

Arsenal have previously been reported to also hold interest in Isak amid his impressive efforts at Newcastle.

Alexander Isak has been linked with a move for several months. Reports claim that Newcastle has been in talks with the forward, telling him that he is not going anywhere.

Arsenal have added Newcastle United's Alexander Isak to a four-man striker shortlist.

Arsenal has shown interest in Alexander Isak, currently playing for Newcastle United. However, Newcastle United has placed an asking price of over €210 million on the player, making it difficult for the transfer to proceed. Newcastle United has stated that Isak is not for sale this summer and is a crucial player for the team's future. Previous reports suggested that Newcastle would consider selling the 24-year-old if they receive an offer of €105m (£90m), but new information reveals it would take at least €210m (£180m) to even discuss a potential summer exit. Isak’s contract at St James’ Park runs until 2028, making a departure seem extremely unlikely.

Isak is the preferred choice of Arteta, but Newcastle has no intention of selling him. In fact, the Magpies are working on renewing the player's contract to build the future team around him.

Ex-Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson believes his former club would “go to another level” if they sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak this summer. Isak, 24, has scored 20 goals in 29 Premier League games so far this season and has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in recent months. The Sweden international has even been compared to Gunners legend Thierry Henry, with the pair sharing similar play styles. Although Eddie Howe has insisted that Isak isn’t for sale this summer, Merson believes Arsenal must pursue a move for the former Real Sociedad striker. However, Newcastle are determined to keep hold of the Swedish star and a summer pursuit is therefore unlikely.

The Arsenal of Mikel Arteta has set a major goal for the transfer market, according to the Independent. The great dream of the Basque coach is to have this forward, former player of Real Sociedad, next season. If a transfer of Isak to Arsenal occurs, Real Sociedad would benefit from it. When it transferred Isak to Newcastle in August 2022 for about 70 million euros plus 5 in variables, the Donostiarra club reserved 10 percent of the capital gain from a future sale of the forward, in which Arteta has set to reinforce his attack.

Isak's excellent performance has attracted interest from other clubs. English media are frequently writing that he could leave the club for Arsenal in the summer. There is a clause in his contract that could decrease his salary if the club does not qualify for the Champions League, which is unacceptable for him. The player is reportedly very interested in leaving because of this situation, but the club will try to retain him and offer him a new contract where he would have the same salary as the highest-paid player of the club, Bruno Guimaraes. If a transfer occurs, it is estimated that Isak will leave Newcastle with a compensation of at least 90 million euros.

Alexander Isak have also been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium as Mikel Arteta looks to sign a more consistent goal-scorer.

Arsenal's target for the attack. Arsenal is reportedly willing to go up to 115 million euros to get him from Newcastle. This amount would also solve the liquidity problems of Newcastle.

Arsenal is reportedly interested in Isak from Newcastle as a potential new striker to strengthen their squad.

Alexander Isak is one of the three potential targets for Arsenal's central attack position.

Arsenal has a longstanding interest in Alexander Isak from Newcastle, though it's unlikely that Newcastle will sell the Swedish player.

Arsenal have been linked with a blockbuster move for Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Isak has caught the eye at Newcastle since joining from Real Sociedad in a €70 million transfer in August 2020, and this season has 15 goals from 23 Premier League outings for Eddie Howe's side. Arsenal's interest in Isak seems to be due to the underperformance of their current strikers, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus. However, Gunners legend Emmanuel Petit doesn't think it would be a good idea. He believes that Arsenal should not splash their money on Isak and that there are players outside of England that could have the same impact.

Arsenal have been linked with a £100million bid for Alexander Isak. Newcastle might have to sell to raise funds for summer signings to avoid breaching Financial Fair Play rules. Newcastle could receive a £100m bid from Arsenal for Isak this summer. Newcastle are likely to be even more keen to cash in on the fan favourite if they finish outside the European spots.
