As rumors continue to emerge about Alexander Isak’s future, Newcastle United reportedly reached the advanced stage and their agreement welcomes their arrival.
Newcastle remains stubborn
This summer, people around St. James Park have the right to focus on Isaac’s future for the first time. Liverpool put their cards on the table and are willing to break club record for the second time this summer to sign the Swedes. But Newcastle won’t be swinging easily. According to Fabrizio Romano, Isak’s Hippies poses are not available for sale this summer.
With the assurance of Champions League football last season and no need to worry about the main issues with PSR, Newcastle is still in a strong position to keep the star man. However, as summer happens, it remains to be seen whether this will change.
While the line remains that any forward who arrives this summer will play alongside Isak, the name on the Newcastle shortlist will certainly play a major role if the disaster strikes a disaster.
In this regard, names like Yoane Wissa stand out in particular. The Brentford striker enjoyed a great campaign last time, scoring 19 Premier League goals and possibly also heading to St. James Park before the end of the summer.
He isn’t the only impressive name on what Newcastle calls the shortlist, though. Now, the report also shows that Newcastle has reached the advanced stage of the deal to welcome Bundesliga stars.
Newcastle reaches the advanced stage of Ekitike Deal
According to Sky Dermany’s Florian Plettenberg, Newcastle is now expected to make a second bid to sign Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, now a deal is struck on the premium stage. The Frenchman reportedly could cost as much as €80 million (£69 million), which would allow those at St James Park to break the transfer record they set when they arrived in 2022 for £63 million.
Interestingly, Romano recently claimed that if Liverpool missed Isak, they would turn their attention to Ekitike in the failure of Newcastle. However, whether it is the move of Hipies just to keep moving forward to sign the move forward or a clue to Isak’s future is still an unsolved issue.
