Owners step in as Liverpool ready RECORD-BREAKING bid
Liverpool have prepared a club-record bid for Alexander Isak. It's one that will almost certainly break the British transfer record, too.
That's the level of faith the Reds have in Isak. They believe he can be the long-term answer to their centre-forward position and someone who can complement the current crop of stars to perfection.

Diogo Jota: Thank you
Isak was quite comfortably the best striker in the Premier League last season and one of the absolute best in Europe. Few, if any, matched his all-around game going forward.
That Liverpool want him isn't a surprise, nor is the amount of money they'd be willing to pay in order to secure the transfer.
The real question, then, is whether Isak is even available. And that's entirely down to Newcastle United.
Newcastle owners step in
GiveMeSport claims Newcastle's ownership have now stepped in to prevent any sale of Isak. This comes after a week of constant speculation, largely fuelled by the Swede not joining the squad on their pre-season tour.
In fact, Isak isn't with Newcastle at all right now. He's in Spain, training at Real Sociedad's facilities.
Reports everywhere claim Isak wants to move to Liverpool and has made it clear to Newcastle. It's an attempt to force their hand, essentially, making the club value the transfer fee more than having a disgruntled player.
But it appears that hasn't worked. The ownership at Newcastle see no reason to take the money and don't want to lose Isak.

Arsenal Are Eyeing A Move For This Crystal Palace Playmaker: Good Option For Arteta?
In a recent report, journalist Steve Kay stated that Arsenal are eyeing a move for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze this off-season. It has been claimed that the Gunners are ready to launch a £52m bid to lure the English attacker to the Emirates Stadium this summer. Eze's Impressive Run Of Form In English Football The 27-year-old managed to shine for the Eagles in the previous campaign when he put in a series of impressive performances for them in the Premier League. Eze was involved in 43 matches for the London outfit last season, scoring 14 times and securing 11 assists on all fronts. The English talent was always willing to have a strike at goal as he averaged 3.48 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 27% of his attempts on target. Eze distributed the ball relatively well after completing 74.2% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via His current contract at Selhurst Park will run out in the summer of 2027, which could make it difficult for the Gunners to sign him on the cheap this off-season. LONDON, ENGLAND – MAY 17: Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace celebrates victory following the Emirates FA Cup Final match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on May 17, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Is Eze A Good Option For Arsenal? Eze can use his quickness and dribbling ability to make a few dangerous runs with the ball in and around the opponent's penalty area. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the vision to engineer some promising chances for his teammates in the final third. Eze can contribute by scoring and creating a lot of important goals for his team. The English talent is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player if needed. He has already proven his worth in the Premier League and won't take much time to adjust to life at Arsenal. We can expect Eze to bring more firepower to Mikel Arteta's frontline. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team spot at the North London club next season. At 27, Eze is about to enter the peak years of his career, which makes him an excellent option for the Gunners to pursue in this summer transfer period. Thus, Arteta should go all out to bring him on board ahead of the new campaign.
