Newcastle ready to offer new contract to Alexander Isak amid Liverpool interest

Newcastle United are preparing to offer a new contract to Alexander Isak — the striker who has caught Liverpool’s attention. The club is ready to break their wage structure to keep the 25-year-old forward at St James’ Park.

Isak’s impressive performance last season — scoring 23 goals and providing 6 assists in 34 Premier League matches — has attracted several major clubs. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona are reportedly interested in acquiring the Swedish national team striker.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe sees Isak as a crucial part of his Champions League project next season. The Magpies are determined to retain their key player amid competition from Europe’s elite clubs.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are targeting Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi who has a £9 million release clause following his team’s relegation. The Red Devils are also monitoring Club Brugge defensive midfielder Ardon Jashari, who could reportedly be acquired for around €40 million.
