Liverpool and Newcastle have agreed a British-record transfer for Alexander Isak.
Reports states that Liverpool will pay a fixed fee of £125m for the striker, who is now expected to complete his move to Anfield on Deadline Day.
Isak is set to sign a six-year deal with Liverpool.
Isak arrived at Liverpool’s training ground on Monday morning for his medical, with Sweden head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson confirming he expects the player to then team up with the national team later on Monday evening.
“I spoke to Alex yesterday [Sunday] and this [Monday] morning,” said Tomasson. “We expect him here today.”
The deal for Isak eclipses the current British record of £115m which Chelsea paid Brighton for Moises Caicedo in 2023.
Liverpool had a bid of £110m plus add-ons rejected for Isak at the start of August as Newcastle were unwilling to sell their star man without certain conditions being met.
Although Newcastle stressed they valued Isak at £150m, that stance softened in recent weeks as Isak missed their opening games of the season and said “the relationship can’t continue”.
