LIVERPOOL have reached an agreement to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, according to multiple reports in the early hours of today.
The deal is believed to be worth £130 million to Newcastle due to solidarity payments and will cost Liverpool £125m.
It will surpass the English Premier League transfer record set by Liverpool’s purchase of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £116m earlier this summer.
Isak will undergo a medical later today ahead of signing a six-year deal at the club.
Liverpool had an original £110m offer rejected in August but they are now set to land their first-choice target of the summer.
Isak will be the second big-money striker to arrive at Anfield this summer following the purchase of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Isak boycotted Newcastle United training in order to force through the Liverpool move, breaking down his relationship with the Magpies.
