Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak’s contract negotiations could become complicated due to his request for a release clause in any new deal.
The Swedish forward remains a key target for both Liverpool and Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Football Transfers, Isak appears open to staying at Newcastle under the right conditions, but he is pushing for a release clause in his contract. It remains to be seen whether the club will agree to this demand.
Liverpool Leading the Race for Isak
The report suggests that Liverpool are currently more likely than Arsenal to sign Isak. Arsenal, for now, seem to be prioritizing RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, potentially giving Liverpool an advantage in the pursuit of the Newcastle striker.
Isak’s insistence on a release clause could also work in favor of interested clubs, as it would put Newcastle in a difficult position—either granting him the clause and losing some control over his future or selling him sooner than planned.
This transfer saga is expected to unfold over the coming weeks and months, with Newcastle likely doing everything possible to avoid selling Isak to a direct Premier League rival.
While a move abroad might be preferable for Newcastle, England’s top clubs remain keen on the 25-year-old due to his impressive performances.
For Liverpool, Isak could be a crucial signing, especially if Mohamed Salah leaves this summer, as they would need a top-class goal-scorer to lead Arne Slot’s attack.
