Alexander Isak has emerged as one of the Premier League’s standout players this season, attracting interest from top clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. However, Newcastle have placed a hefty price tag on the Swedish striker.
Alan Shearer believes that only one club, Chelsea, might be able to sign Isak this month—but they would need to pay more than £150 million.
With 15 goals in all competitions so far, Isak’s stellar form has made him a highly sought-after talent. Despite speculation linking him to several clubs, Newcastle reportedly value their star forward at over £150 million. Speaking to Betfair, Newcastle legend Shearer suggested even that figure might not be enough to secure Isak.
“Other than possibly Chelsea, I don’t think anyone could afford Alexander Isak right now due to the way PSR rules are structured,” Shearer explained. “Even without those rules, I’m not sure any club could meet Newcastle’s asking price.”
Shearer added, “Newcastle paid £63 million for him, and he’s been tearing up the league. Why would they entertain offers? Even if £150 million is being discussed, it wouldn’t make sense for them to sell him unless they could find someone equally capable—which isn’t easy.
“Every club in the country is looking for a centre-forward like Isak, but players of his quality are rarely available.”
