Al Hilal Target Newcastle United Striker Alexander Isak

According to ESPN, Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal are exploring the possibility of signing striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.

Al Hilal are currently gathering financial details needed for a potential deal — though no formal contact has been made with Newcastle United. Coach Simone Inzaghi has discussed this transfer plan internally.

Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s manager, responded regarding Isak’s absence from the recent friendly match against Celtic:

“It’s difficult for me to give 100% clarity about any player. Isak is happy at Newcastle, he loves his teammates and staff here.”

Al Hilal previously targeted another striker — they made a substantial offer to Victor Osimhen before the FIFA Club World Cup, but the Nigerian striker is now close to finalizing his permanent move to Galatasaray.
