The deal of the year, the most expensive ever in the history of the Premier League. By 8 pm Alexander Isak will be the new Liverpool center forward, the new most expensive player in the history of the English championship since the Newcastle for the card has torn 130 million pounds, the equivalent of 150 million euros. Isak today will be in Liverpool for medical examinations and the signature of the contract of a soap opera dragged for most of the summer and ended in a flash. The Reds continue their sensational record market: the total expenditure in this session rises to 516.5 million euros, first time ever beyond the half billion. And it’s not over yet

Grand finale

Liverpool and Newcastle went back to talking to each other after the Reds beat Arsenal, but the grand finale seemed inevitable. Isak has been repeating for weeks to the Magpies who would never return to the group, that his message entrusted to social media of 10 days ago that “a change is the best solution for everyone” was a farewell that left no room for other solutions. When the Newcastle found in Nick Woltemade (cost 75 million euros, a new record for the club removed from Isak) the striker who searched all summer, the situation of Isak has unlocked. The club of Sandro Tonali evaluated the Swedish 173 million euros, Liverpool was stopped at the offer of 127 million early August, after which he had been aside waiting for a signal from the Newcastle: when he arrived and the two clubs sat at the table, it was clear that the Magpies had to lower the claims and that the Reds had to raise the offer. The agreement was found at 150: Isak takes away from the new partner Florian Wirtz (so the Liverpool in June had paid 136 million) the primacy of the most paid player in the history of the premier, Slot will have a new center forward to be included in an already sensational attack (Isak has scored 44 goals in the last two seasons of Premier and last year he closed according to the cannonieri ranking, behind Mo Salah) Newcastle a mountain of money to reinvest on the market, perhaps to convince Brentford to let Joanne Wissa leave. Isak also had what he wanted: Liverpool, a Big contract, a team to play to win with.

RECORD

Having settled the details for Isak, in the next few hours he will try to convince the Crystal Palace to deprive Marc Guehi, defender of the English national team expiring next summer with Eagles and Liverpool promises. The Palace asks for 45 million euros, including bonuses, Liverpool has reached 40. For a team that spent 516.5 million euros in the richest market in its history and has the accounts for not having bled, filling those 5 million gaps and giving yourself a dream team is not a problem at all.
