Liverpool has now missed their chance to sign Alexander Isak

For some time there have been medialaims that Liverpool was interested in removing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.

As it became increasingly clear that the scousers were desperately a new first choice, the media speculation grew.

When Alexander Isak again dominated the Liverpool defense and this time the winner scored at Wembley in the League Cup, from the end of March 2025, it was now seen by the media as Liverpool and not Arsenal, which would be the most likely destination if the Sweden International would be leaving St. James this summer.

We arrived at the end of the 2024/25 season and then the summer transfer window opened on 1 June 2025 and we waited to see what Liverpool would do with trying to land Alexander Isak.

Liverpool quickly made a number of expensive signing sessions, including a new Premier League record costs of £ 116 million+ for Florian Wirtz.

Regarding Alexander Isak, Liverpool does absolutely nothing.

When we arrived until seven weeks since the transfer window of the summer 2025 was opened, this was the timeline of Alexander Isak (and Liverpool).

So that also plays here. We will ensure that every player does that, to earn the right to train with the rest of the group. No player can expect to act poorly and normally train with the group. Of course I would like him to be on training, but I don’t know if he will do that at the moment. We have been here (in South Korea) with the time difference, preparing for training and games. Other people have had to deal with that situation at home. “

The Newcastle United Squad returns to the training on Wednesday morning. Widespread coverage in the media that Eddie Howe Alexander Isak has told you to get to the training field and train and work on restoring his injury in the afternoon, as soon as the rest of the team has left.

We are now only a week away from the Premier League season that starts and this is my opinion.

I think Liverpool has now missed their chance to sign Alexander Isak.

On July 24, the Newcastle United Squad flew to the Far East and then on August 4 they returned.

This was the Liverpool window for me.

Of course they should have done the professional thing, acted in the right way, made a good approach to Newcastle United and made a credible offer that was in the same ball park as the £ 150m+ appreciation of Newcastle. Liverpool, however, failed that Liverpool then started with that media zonzin on July 15 with that media zonzin and then there was the 11 -day piece of July 24 and August 4 to let go and tried to sign Isak.

Instead, that time period Liverpool saw Hugo Ekitike signed for £ 80 million+ from Eintracht Frankfurt, while at Alexander Isak the scousers made a token weak supply of £ 110 million to Newcastle United.

No genius is needed to understand, to find out that Alexander Isak did not go to the Far East on that trip, because he had led to believe that Liverpool would sign completely to sign him, to make a serious massive offer that Newcastle United would at least be forced to overthrow in the future). That could see a deal that may have been agreed, while the rest of the Newcastle team was gone, where Alexander Isak then had his medical and corresponding personal conditions, than he and Liverpool live happily and happy …

As I say, instead, instead did not really do anything in terms of trying to land Isak. Apart from that spotted range of £ 110 million, Liverpool simply plays things out in the media, so that friendly journalists let a story run that they still seriously try to buy the Newcastle player.

I think it’s anything but that.

Many people want to make Eddie Howe Alexander Isak alone yesterday as ‘proof’ that he will be sold to another club, almost certainly Liverpool.

I think that’s nonsense.

For me, Eddie Howe made it absolutely clear on Sunday that Alexander Isak would be punished. His comments about having to earn the right to train with the Newcastle United Squad.

This is for me that Eddie Howe shows his authority and shows his dissatisfaction about what is going on, so he expects from all his players. Standards.

However, I think this is the equivalent of the detention of SchoolDays, a few days of punishment before Alexander Isak is allowed back in the group while the preparations for the new season remain. My gamble would be either Friday if Isak will be back at the group prior to the friendly matches of the weekend, or at the last minute on Monday for the last week of the training prior to the Villa match.

I believe that Newcastle United wants to make a statement that draws in the front, such as Benjamin Sesko. For Sesko to be in the same team/team this coming season as Alexander Isak, not to replace him.

The same with then Newcastle tried to sign Ekitike, to add to Isak, not to replace.

Instead of going for Alexander Isak, while the rest of the NUFC team was in the Far East, Liverpool put all their energies to sign Hugo Ekitike and that is. A distant offer for Alexander Isak that would never be accepted and then nothing more, Liverpool only did this Token thing to try to convince their fans and their friends in the media that they had really been seriously to sign Isak this summer.

The facts say something completely different.
