Al-Hilal Offer Alexander Isak £600k a Week as They Push to Sign Him
Saudi giants Al-Hilal are reportedly prepared to tempt Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak with a jaw-dropping £600,000-a-week tax-free contract as they push to sign him this summer. The Swedish striker has handed in a transfer request and was left out of Newcastle’s preseason tour of Asia, fueling speculation around his future.
According to reports from The Guardian, Al-Hilal are not stopping at just a massive weekly wage. They plan to sweeten the deal with big bonuses tied to team success—if they win the Saudi Pro League or the AFC Champions League—and individual performance, like Isak finishing as top scorer.
Liverpool are also eyeing the 25-year-old, but their interest may be limited by financial constraints. The Merseyside club is unlikely to match Al-Hilal’s offer and may struggle to meet Newcastle’s £120m asking price, especially after already spending nearly £300m this summer on new signings, including Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
