Newcastle Demand £150M for Arsenal, PSG-Linked Standout Amid Transfer Rumors | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has made it clear that Randal Kolo Muani doesn’t fit the style of striker he’s looking for. However, recent reports suggest that Enrique has his eye on another forward—Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.

According to Fichajes, Enrique views Isak as a strong candidate for his project, citing the Swedish striker’s pace, technical ability, and finishing as perfect for the offensive system he’s looking to build at PSG.

CaughtOffside has reported that both Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring Isak, though neither club is willing to meet Newcastle’s £115 million asking price for the 24-year-old.

So far this season, Isak has netted 12 goals and provided four assists in 19 appearances across all competitions for the Magpies. Despite the interest, Newcastle is determined to hold on to their star forward.

Are Newcastle open to selling Alexander Isak?

While Isak is under contract until 2028 and his current form continues to hit an upward trajectory, The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards reports that Newcastle have set a £150 million price tag for Isak.

Journalist Ben Jacobs recently stated that he does see Newcastle needing to part ways with a key player next summer especially if they don’t qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Still, he doesn’t believe it will be Isak.

“I’m still told that Newcastle may have to lose a big star out of financial necessity, especially if they don’t get European football,” Jacobs said. “But I’m also told that the futures of Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak will be intertwined, and it’s very unlikely that Newcastle, even if forced to, would lose more than one of those names.

“And the fact that Gordon was kind of offered to Liverpool shortly before they were able to eventually sell Yankuba Minteh to Brighton and Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest, shows you that of the three, it was clearly Gordon that Newcastle felt they might have to put on the market, and then, luckily, it never went through, because Newcastle found the money from elsewhere.”
