The summer transfer saga surrounding Alexander Isak is heating up, with Liverpool reportedly keen on luring the Swedish striker from Newcastle United. Fresh comments from Magpies manager Eddie Howe suggest that while he hopes to keep his star player, Isak's future remains uncertain.

Isak has had an impressive season on Tyneside, helping secure Newcastle's first domestic silverware in years, and has firmly established himself as a fan favorite. Yet, as the club aims for a top-five finish and a spot in the Champions League, the question looms: will the club's leading scorer still be with them next season?

Liverpool, on the hunt for a new No. 9, has Isak in their sights as Darwin Nunez's future appears shaky. However, despite being a prime target, convincing Newcastle to part with their valuable asset will be no easy task.

With a contract running until 2028 and a staggering valuation of £150 million, any attempt by Liverpool to snatch Isak seems far-fetched. Howe's recent remarks only add mystery to the situation: "I never make guarantees about any player. I’d be foolish to do so," he said, acknowledging the volatility of transfer talks.

While Howe is clear about wanting to keep his best players, he ominously left the door ajar for Isak's exit, hinting that substantial offers could trigger discussions.

Transfer expert Sami Mokbel recently weighed in on the matter, suggesting that Isak is intrigued by the idea of joining Liverpool or Arsenal. However, he notes there are no signals that Isak is pushing for a move. If a chance arises for Isak to depart, it would likely be under Newcastle's terms—essentially, it would require a jaw-dropping offer.

For now, Howe is committed to building long-term success and stated, "We must keep our best players while also enhancing our squad." Whether that includes Isak, however, is still up in the air.

If Isak does not sign an extension with Newcastle and his contract runs down, the summer of 2026 could offer a more feasible opportunity for suitors. As fans eagerly watch the developments, one thing is clear: the transfer market this summer could usher in dramatic changes in the Premier League.
