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.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
