Newcastle United is reportedly preparing to offer Alexander Isak a lucrative new long-term contract to secure his future at the club amid interest from Arsenal. The Swedish striker, who has netted 17 Premier League goals this season, could become the club’s highest earner under the proposed deal. Despite having three-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract, Newcastle aims to extend his tenure further, especially with potential Champions League qualification on the horizon.
Arsenal has expressed sustained interest in Isak, viewing him as a “dream target” to bolster their attacking options. However, Newcastle has set a valuation of over £150 million for the striker, a figure that poses a significant challenge for the Gunners. This substantial price tag reflects Newcastle’s determination to retain Isak, who has been instrumental in their recent successes.
Isak’s impressive form has not only attracted interest from Arsenal but also from other top European clubs. Nevertheless, Newcastle remains resolute in their stance, with club legend Alan Shearer advising against selling the striker, even for £150 million. Isak himself is reportedly happy at Newcastle and has assured teammates he is not considering a move. The Magpies are keen to finalize a new deal to further solidify his commitment to the club.
