Saudi giants Al-Hilal are reportedly ready to hand Newcastle striker Alexander Isak a jaw-dropping £600,000-per-week, tax-free contract to lure him over this summer.
According to The Guardian, the 25-year-old Swedish forward has already submitted a transfer request and was left out of Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia — a move that has now fueled speculations of a big-money exit.
Wait first, it gets even juicier. The reported deal from Al-Hilal doesn’t just stop at salary. The club is allegedly adding performance-triggered bonuses — including extra cash if the team wins the Saudi Pro League or the AFC Champions League, or if Isak ends up top goal scorer.
Omo, this one na generational wealth kind offer!
Meanwhile, Premier League rivals Liverpool are also interested, but there’s a twist. The Reds reportedly cannot matchAl-Hilal’s massive salary package and are also struggling with Newcastle’s £120 million price tag, especially after spending nearly £300 million already this summer.
Coach Arne Slot has brought in Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, and Milos Kerkez, which means Liverpool’s transfer budget might already be overstretched.
So the big question now is: Will Isak chase the Saudi millions or stay in Europe for competitive glory? Time go soon tell.
