Alexander Isak Set to Join Liverpool as One of Their Top Earners
Alexander Isak is on track to become Liverpool’s third highest-paid player if his move from Newcastle goes through this summer. The Swedish striker has reportedly made it clear to Newcastle that he wants to leave, and Liverpool are eyeing a deal that could cost them around £150 million.
Although the Magpies initially insisted Isak wasn’t for sale, Liverpool turned their attention to Hugo Ekitike, signing him for £79 million. However, hopes of landing Isak have been reignited after he missed Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia, raising further questions about his future at the club.
According to reports, if the transfer happens, Isak would earn about £250,000 a week, matching Ekitike’s wages, which would place him just behind Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk on Liverpool’s wage list. Currently, Isak earns £120,000 a week at Newcastle.

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.”
