According to a finance expert, a \u2018leak\u2019 on Alexander Isak\u2019s move to Liverpool from Newcastle United \u2018was right\u2019, with the Reds to \u2018pay extra\u2019.<\/p>\n
The prolonged Isak<\/strong> <\/a>saga concluded on deadline day as the world-class striker joined Liverpool from Newcastle in a British record transfer.<\/p>\n The world-class striker scored 27 goals in 42 appearances for Newcastle last season as he helped them win the Carabao Cup. However, it emerged at the start of this summer window that he intended to leave and his heart was set on a move to Liverpool<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n This saga quickly turned ugly as Isak missed Newcastle\u2019s pre-season tour of Asia and hit out at club chiefs over \u201cbroken promises\u201d, but the Magpies were unwilling to sanction his exit without having a suitable replacement lined up.<\/p>\n For most of the summer, it was unclear whether Isak would secure a move to Liverpool, though Newcastle opened the door to his exit after landing Nick Woltemade, while Yoane Wissa joined the Magpies on deadline day.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Newcastle fleeced for extra \u00a390m as Liverpool stung for Alexander Isak<\/a> At the start of August, Liverpool had a bid worth around \u00a3110m plus \u00a310m in add-ons rejected by Newcastle, who were reportedly holding out for around \u00a3150m.<\/p>\n However, Isak\u2019s poor conduct did Liverpool a favour as a cut-price deal was agreed on deadline day.<\/p>\n A report from Football Insider have revealed<\/a> \u2018details\u2019 on Isak\u2019s transfer, with Liverpool \u2018paying an extra \u00a35m\u2019. It is noted that the initial \u00a3125m deal has reached \u00a3130m due to the \u2018solidarity payments\u2019.<\/p>\n Former Man City financial advisor Stefan Borson has suggested that the \u201coriginal leak\u201d was right, explaining that there are no \u201cloyalty payments\u201d involved in the fee for Isak.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think it is loyalty payments actually,\u201d Borson explained to Football Insider.<\/a><\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u201cI think the original leak was right, which I think was solidarity payments. I don\u2019t think there was ever any concept that he would get the rest of his loyalty payments in this situation.<\/p>\n \u201cI think what\u2019s really happened is that Newcastle are going to get the \u00a3125million and Liverpool will take on what\u2019s known as the solidarity payments that they have to pay to all of his previous clubs until he joined Newcastle.<\/p>\n \u201cThe solidarity payments partly would go to Newcastle, so they would net out about \u00a35.5million, which Liverpool will pay.<\/p>\n \u201cThe way it works is that the buying club will always make the actual payments, but what they tend to do is hold back part of the transfer fee.<\/p>\n \u201cThe forms do allow you to say, well, the net transfer fee is \u00a3125million and effectively we will take care of the solidarity payments to pay off.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got all these clubs all around Europe, one in Sweden and then Sociedad, so they have to pay all these teams a relatively small amount depending on how long he was there for, but it totals up to \u00a35million.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a finance expert, a \u2018leak\u2019 on Alexander Isak\u2019s move to Liverpool from Newcastle United \u2018was right\u2019,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50045,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[1268,18,794,19,17,1009,1270,5,795,132,5279],"class_list":{"0":"post-53133","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alexander-isak","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-home-page","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-newcastle-united","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-premier-league","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-uncategorized"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
