**Last-Minute Transfer Window Frenzy**

 

Withonly hours remaining before the closure of the summer transfer window in Europe's major football leagues, clubs were scrambling to finalize deals. The race was on to either strengthen squads for the remainder of the 2025-2026 season or offload surplus players to balance financial books. Liverpool's pursuit of Isak epitomized this frantic period, culminating in a protracted negotiation that captivated the football world.

 

1. Just a few hours after their crucial victory over Arsenal in a Premier League
2.  clash, the reigning champions, Liverpool, successfully reached an agreement
3.  with Newcastle United for their star forward. This breakthrough followed a
4.  marathon of discussions, highlighting the Reds' determination to land their
5.  primary target.

 

**Isak's Record-Breaking Move to Anfield**

 

Reports from reputable sources such as "The Athletic" and "Sky Sports" confirmed late Sunday that Liverpool's management had struck a deal with Newcastle for Isak, valued at approximately £130 million (around $175 million). This figure unequivocally establishes it as the most expensive transfer ever seen in English football, underscoring the player's perceived value and potential impact.

 

• The lead-up to this transfer was marked by considerable tension between
• Newcastle and their young prolific scorer. Isak had notably refused to join the
•  team's pre-season camp in East Asia, openly expressing his desire for a move
•  to Liverpool. This standoff continued even into the early stages of the season,
•  with Isak conspicuously absent from the high-profile match between the
•  Reds and the Magpies, which Liverpool ultimately won with a late goal.

 

Previously, Newcastle had rebuffed a £110 million (approximately $148.91 million) offer from Liverpool for the 25-year-old striker in early August. Isak initially joined Newcastle from Spanish side Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022 for €70 million (approximately $81.11 million).

 During his tenure at St. James' Park, he proved to be a pivotal figure, finishing as the team's top scorer last season with an impressive 27 goals in 42 appearances. His contract with the Magpies was originally set to run until June 30, 2028.

 

Isak's arrival at Liverpool on Monday morning for his routine medical examination, a customary step before signing official contracts, marks him as the crown jewel of Liverpool's historic summer recruitment drive. Fans eagerly anticipate his integration into Jürgen Klopp's formidable attacking lineup.

 

**Newcastle's Swift Response: Yoane Wissa Arrives from Brentford**

 

On the other side of this transfer saga, English media reports indicate that Newcastle United promptly agreed to a £55 million (approximately $74.30 million) deal to secure forward Yoane Wissa from Brentford. This rapid acquisition demonstrates Newcastle's proactive approach to filling the void left by Isak's departure.

 

1. The 28-year-old Democratic Republic of Congo international had been
2. Newcastle's prime target in the transfer market ever since Isak's intentions to
3.  move to Liverpool became clear. Wissa has been a consistent performer for
4.  Brentford since his arrival from French club Lorient, scoring 45 goals in 137
5.  Premier League appearances. However, he had not featured for Brentford this
6.  season, having insisted on a transfer away from the club.

 

Last week, Wissa issued a public statement via social media, appealing to Brentford's management to facilitate his move to Newcastle. His arrival is expected to provide Eddie Howe's side with a potent attacking option, leveraging the funds generated from Isak's record sale.
