Alexander Isak has informed Newcastle United what he wants in order to remain at the football placing Arsenal and Liverpool on red alert.
Newcastle and Isak had been hoping a new contract could be agreed upon, however, that is yet to happen and the 25-year-old has told the club what he wants in order to commit his future to the North East.
The Swedish international is one of the best strikers in Europe and many clubs will be keen to sign him if he becomes available at some stage. Newcastle’s number 14 has netted ten goals in 15 Premier League matches this season.
Alexander Isak’s camp informed Newcastle United that they must be offering Champions League football, according to the Daily Mail. The Swede has been unwilling to commit his future to the club as he has doubts about the Toon’s progress.
Arsenal have made their interest in the striker known and will be on red alert with Eddie Howe’s side someway off getting back into Europe’s elite competition.
Newcastle won’t be overly concerned just yet as he is tied down to a contract until 2028 so they could demand a large fee if they sold him in the summer. The Tyneside club paid a staggering £63 million to sign him from Real Sociedad back in 2022 and he could now be valued at around £100 million add the Mail’s report.
The Gunners are in clear need of an elite centre-forward with Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz as their current two options. Arne Slot’s team are also looking for a striker with Darwin Nunez their current out-and-out option to play in the number nine role.
