Report: Update emerges on Alexander Isak's Newcastle future amid Arsenal and Chelsea interest

Alexander Isak, a prime target for both Arsenal and Chelsea, is reportedly set to discuss a new contract with Newcastle United. According to TBR Football, Newcastle are eager to secure the Swedish striker’s long-term commitment.

Isak has been in exceptional form this season, leading Newcastle’s scoring charts with 19 goals across all competitions. This stellar performance has made him a hot prospect for a big transfer to another Premier League club.

Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, considers Isak a “top target,” and Chelsea are also very keen on signing him. However, Newcastle are confident they can hold onto their star player despite the interest from rivals.

TBR Football reports that Newcastle United are intent on securing Alexander Isak’s future with the club by proposing a new contract. This deal would include a significant salary increase, reflecting his vital role in the team.

Currently, Isak earns £120,000 per week, but the proposed raise could push his weekly wage over £200,000, making him the top earner at Newcastle.

Alexander Isak is reportedly considering signing a new contract with Newcastle, but according to TBR Football, his final decision might hinge on whether the team secures a spot in the Champions League.

On the other hand, moving to London clubs like Arsenal or Chelsea would almost certainly mean playing in European competitions. Both teams hold Isak in high regard, but they would need to meet Newcastle’s hefty valuation, which exceeds £150 million for the Swedish star.

Dean Jones from GIVEMESPORT has exclusively revealed that this high price tag might already be putting Arsenal off, with fears that they have “almost no chance” of securing Isak’s transfer.

Fabrizio Romano: Newcastle eyeing £55m centre-back wanted by Chelsea and Bayern

After missing out on a centre-back in recent transfer windows, it will be intriguing to see if Newcastle United finds a long-term successor for Fabian Schar this summer.

Attempts to sign Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi fell through in August, and in January, Abdukodir Khusanov was on the radar, but Manchester City clinched the deal for the ex-Lens player.

Paul Mitchell, clearly focused on this position as well as the elusive right-winger, has seen another name emerge in recent news.

Heading into the summer transfer window, Newcastle seems to have their sights set on another Bournemouth defender, especially with (hopefully) funds available to spend.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Newcastle are among the clubs interested in Dean Huijsen, with Chelsea and Bayern Munich also in the race.

The 19-year-old has impressed in his debut Premier League season, and he’s not the only Bournemouth centre-back Newcastle have been linked with. Mark Douglas from the i previously noted interest in Illia Zabarnyi as well.

Speaking on his Youtube channel on all things transfers, Romano said: “Chelsea are one of several clubs interested in Dean Huijsen, then there is interest in Bayern Munich. Also Newcastle are showing interest in Huijsen.

“They are doing very well and in case they are in the Champions League next season, investment in a centre-back could be made and Huijsen is one of the players they are monitoring.

“He has a release clause in his contract valid in the summer, so Huijsen will be, for sure, one to watch in the summer transfer window.”

Missed opportunity last summer?

While Newcastle United were in negotiations with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi that ultimately fell through, Bournemouth managed to secure what’s been called one of the summer’s best signings with Dean Huijsen.

Newcastle had been linked with the Dutch-born defender before his transfer to Eddie Howe’s former team, but Bournemouth clinched the deal for £15 million.

Now, just six months on, it’s rumored that Huijsen’s release clause is set at £55 million, indicating that Bournemouth could make a quick £40 million profit if he were to depart this summer.
