Newcastle Prepares New Contract for Alexander Isak Amid Liverpool Interest

Alexander Isak has become Liverpool’s primary target — Newcastle United is moving swiftly to secure their star striker’s future with a lucrative new contract offer.

The Magpies are prepared to break their wage structure to retain the 25-year-old player — manager Eddie Howe sees him as a key figure in next season’s Champions League project.

Isak’s impressive performance last season with 23 goals and 6 assists from 34 Premier League appearances has attracted several elite clubs — Arsenal and Barcelona are also reportedly monitoring his situation.

Meanwhile, Manchester United is targeting two defensive midfielders — Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester City who has a £9 million release clause and Ardon Jashari from Club Brugge valued at around €40 million.
