Newcastle United is said to have accepted a record offer from Liverpool for the Swedish striker Alexander Isak after several weeks of pressure, reported the British press on Monday.

According to the newspapers The Athletic and The Telegraph, the two clubs from the north of England have reached an agreement for 130 million pounds (about R$ 954 million).

Isak, 25, is expected to undergo medical examinations this Monday before signing a six-year contract with the Reds, on the last day of the transfer market, stated The Athletic.

The Swede (52 matches), who still had three years left on his contract with Newcastle, had refused to play since the club rejected an offer of 110 million pounds (806 million reais) at the beginning of August.

Isak joined Newcastle in 2022 from Real Sociedad. In the Premier League, he scored 23 goals last season, which allowed Newcastle to qualify for the Champions League by finishing in fifth place.

Isak's Replacement

Last Saturday, the German forward Nick Woltemade (23 years old) signed with Newcastle from Stuttgart for an amount close to 69 million pounds (R$ 505 million), a move that facilitated Isak's departure.
