Breaking News: Man United meets Isak’s private interface and 90 million euro deal will be completed next week
Manchester United are reportedly pushing hard to sign Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, with claims surfacing that the club has tabled a massive €90 million offer. The 25-year-old forward, who had an outstanding Premier League campaign with 21 goals and 7 assists in just 31 games, is seen as an ideal addition to a Red Devils attack in need of firepower. With Anthony Martial gone, Marcus Rashford struggling for consistency, and Rasmus Højlund still finding his feet, Isak has been touted as the perfect fit to lead the line at Old Trafford.
However, despite the buzz, leading outlets across Europe and England have yet to confirm that any official bid has been made. Trusted sources including Sky Sports, ESPN, The Athletic, and Goal.com have not reported any formal offer from United. Moreover, Newcastle are standing firm in their valuation of Isak, reportedly placing his worth between £150 million and £200 million—far above the rumoured €90 million. As such, unless a significantly larger proposal is submitted, the Magpies are unlikely to consider parting ways with their top scorer.
Interestingly, the real frontrunners for Isak’s signature appear to be Liverpool. The striker is said to be open to leaving Newcastle and reportedly views Anfield as a more attractive destination due to Champions League football and better financial incentives. Liverpool, who recently brought in Hugo Ekitike as backup, have a head start in discussions and remain in pole position should negotiations advance.
Meanwhile, Manchester United face several obstacles. Beyond financial limitations, their absence from Europe’s top competitions weakens their appeal in high-profile transfer races. The club is also exploring alternative attacking options, including Viktor Gyökeres and Jonathan David, which may suggest they’re unwilling to engage in a bidding war for Isak.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has added his voice to the ongoing drama, criticising the club’s pre-season handling of Isak and suggesting that if the striker truly wants out, the club should cash in—provided the offer is right. He stressed that Newcastle must ensure any potential sale funds suitable replacements.
Despite the media frenzy, it seems the supposed €90 million offer from Manchester United is not backed by concrete evidence. Unless the Red Devils come forward with a much higher bid, and quickly, Isak may be headed elsewhere—or stay put for another season at St James’ Park.
