A super large variable before we leave Korea!Request to transfer the strongest striker in EPL, Newcastle Pungbi Baksan to recruit promising players

Jul 24, 2025

Alexander Isaac has asked Newcastle United to transfer.

The British Daily Mail said in a breaking news on the 24th (Korea time) that Isaac wants to transfer to Newcastle United. Isaac will not accompany him on the pre-season tour of Asia after suffering a thigh injury earlier this week. Isaac informed the club's leadership that he wanted to think about his future this summer, according to the report.

It is a sudden news for Newcastle, which is preparing for a pre-season tour to Korea. Isak is at the heart of Newcastle's attack and goes beyond just a striker to play a central role in team tactics. He proved his outstanding determination by scoring 62 goals in 109 games and showed rapid growth under Eddie Howe.

Isaac is an all-weather striker with both speed, skill and space creation capabilities, and is the most threatening Premier League (EPL) striker after Elling Holan at this point. With Newcastle going to the European tournament, a player like Isaac is absolutely necessary. Newcastle were on alert as Isaac told the club's leaders that he wanted to transfer shortly before the opening of the season.

Isak has a three-year contract with Newcastle left, so the club has the right to decide. Newcastle's original plan was to sign Isaac further after the end of this season. It was to keep Isaac at Newcastle for a longer period of time and at the same time cut off the interest of other clubs. Isaac, who has grasped this, is not negotiating with Newcastle to renew his contract.

Newcastle have no choice but to worry about Isaac's future because Liverpool is very active in recruiting Isaac. The Daily Mail explained that `Liverpool is showing interest in signing Isaac for the highest transfer fee ever in the UK transfer market.'

Newcastle's owner and Howe then do not want to sell Isaac and are in a position to pursue a new contract even with the possibility of a transfer next summer open. 'The club is in an advantageous position as there is still room for a contract with Isaac, but there is also a possibility that the transfer could take off in the next few weeks if Liverpool or other clubs make an offer worth 150 million pounds (about 278.4 billion won) with Isaac's intention to transfer.'"

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will move again as Liverpool has turned to Hugo Ekittike as it becomes difficult to recruit Isaac.

Meanwhile, Isaac has decided not to participate in Newcastle's Asian tour in South Korea due to a thigh injury.
