Alexander Isak and Man United have reached an agreement of £250 per week as negotiations in the final stage
In a surprising turn of events, Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak is on the verge of joining Manchester United after reportedly agreeing to personal terms valued at £250,000 per week. The Swedish forward, renowned for his clinical finishing since his arrival from Real Sociedad, had long harboured ambitions of playing for Liverpool. However, the Merseyside club’s lack of pursuit has steered him toward Old Trafford.
Isak openly admitted that Liverpool had always been his dream club, but their apparent disinterest left him with no reason to wait any longer. When United approached with both a lucrative offer and the promise of Champions League football next season, the decision became straightforward for him. He emphasised that if Liverpool would not take the chance, another club certainly would—and Manchester United just did.
Insiders close to the deal have revealed that negotiations are in the final phase, with only a few contractual details remaining. United are believed to have beaten several top European sides to Isak’s signature, making this one of the most attention-grabbing transfers of the summer window. The move also sends a strong message from Erik ten Hag’s camp, as they continue to reshape the squad with a proven goalscorer ahead of next season’s Champions League campaign.
Manchester United supporters have flooded social media with excitement, many expressing astonishment that they managed to secure a player who had so often been linked with a move to Anfield. For Newcastle, parting ways with their prolific striker will be a significant loss after his outstanding season, but the reported fee—likely exceeding £80 million—will give Eddie Howe considerable resources to bolster his squad.
If all goes smoothly, Alexander Isak could be officially presented as a Manchester United player before the week ends, bringing a dramatic and unexpected transfer story to a close.
