Newcastle United have reportedly finalised terms on a lucrative new contract for star striker Alexander Isak, aimed at making him the highest‑paid player in club history. The proposal would raise his weekly earnings from around £120,000 to over £150,000 per week—surpassing existing top earners such as Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães, and Anthony Gordon .
After netting 23 Premier League goals last season and helping secure Newcastle’s first major domestic trophy in decades with the Carabao Cup, Isak has drawn heavy interest from Premier League heavyweights like Liverpool, Arsenal, and La Liga giants Barcelona . Manager Eddie Howe and the club’s Saudi-backed ownership view him as pivotal to their long-term vision, particularly now that Champions League football is back at St James’ Park .
Reports indicate the deal would push Newcastle’s wage bill up by around £5 million annually, reflecting both his on-field value and the club’s ambition . While Liverpool continue to monitor his situation, Newcastle’s offer is expected to effectively end speculation—unless Isak actively requests a move .
With three years left on his current contract (through June 2028), the potential new terms are designed to secure Isak’s future on Tyneside and fend off any late‑summer bids.
