Isak grateful: Liverpool signs the Swedish striker from Newcastle in record

Alexander Isak Thanks Newcastle After Record Signing by Liverpool

Swedish striker Alexander Isak has expressed his gratitude to Newcastle United, after finalizing his record transfer to Liverpool. The move, which involves a significant sum, marks a milestone in the player’s career. Isak, 25 years old, arrives at Liverpool in a transfer that exceeds 125 million pounds sterling, making him the most expensive signing in the history of British football. The striker has signed a six-year contract with the Merseyside club. Isak’s signing for Liverpool ends a long saga that extended throughout the summer, where the player expressed his desire to move on. Isak did not participate in Newcastle’s pre-season nor in the first three Premier League matches.

I want to express my gratitude to my teammates, the staff, and above all, to the city of Newcastle and all the incredible fans for the three unforgettable years we shared together. Together, we have written history and brought the club to where it truly belongs. It has been an honor to be part of the journey, from reaching the Champions League to winning the first trophy in over 70 years. Eternally grateful. Thank you, Newcastle.

Isak’s Statements

Isak’s words contrast with the terse statement issued by Newcastle, which was limited to a brief 37-word statement. In the statement, Newcastle announced the sale of Isak to Liverpool for a “significant” record fee. The Swedish striker arrived at the club from Real Sociedad in 2022, playing 109 matches in all competitions. Isak scored 54 goals in 86 Premier League matches for Newcastle. He is expected to be able to debut for Liverpool against Burnley on August 14, after his participation with the Swedish national team.
