Liverpool have completed the signing of Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in a record-breaking £130 million deal, making him the most expensive player in Premier League history.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Sunday night that the two clubs reached a full agreement, with Isak set to undergo medical tests at Anfield. The 25-year-old had long agreed personal terms with Liverpool and reportedly turned down approaches from other top clubs, insisting on joining the reigning Premier League champions.
This move surpasses Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo (£115m), who previously held the record. Other high-profile signings that now rank below include:
Declan Rice to Arsenal (£105m)
Jack Grealish to Manchester City (£100m)
Paul Pogba to Manchester United (£89m)
Darwin Nunez to Liverpool (£85m)
Isak, known for his pace, finishing, and versatility in attack, joins a Liverpool side that has already strengthened significantly during the summer transfer window. The Reds, who defeated Arsenal 1-0 on Sunday to maintain a perfect start to the season, are expected to challenge strongly for both domestic and European honours with his addition.
