Alexander Isak bids farewell to Newcastle United as he completes a historic transfer to Liverpool. The striker’s departure follows a tense period of training away from his teammates as he pushed for the move.
Liverpool sealed the deal by paying £125 million for Isak, who played a key role in Newcastle’s recent successes. The star forward, loved by fans, saw his relationship with the club deteriorate as he sought the transfer to Liverpool.
After joining Anfield, Isak expressed gratitude to Newcastle and its supporters, calling his three-year stint unforgettable and an honor. In a heartfelt message on Instagram, he thanked his teammates, staff, and the city for the journey that led to Champions League qualification and a trophy win.
Newcastle, on the other hand, announced the transfer without sentiment, confirming the significant British record fee paid by Liverpool for Isak, who arrived from Real Sociedad in 2022 and made 109 appearances for the Magpies.
Former teammate Anthony Gordon shared warm words for Isak, praising his qualities on and off the pitch despite any past conflicts. Isak himself stated that he was motivated to join Liverpool by the club’s history and his desire to contribute to building a successful future.
