Isak has been pushing hard for the transfer, and late last night the two clubs finally agreed on a fee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been at Liverpool\u2019s training ground all day, and at first the atmosphere was very open. But a while ago, we were asked to stay outside the building, away from the reception area, and remain in the car park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s always a sign something is happening, and sure enough, Isak was inside completing his media duties, the photographs, the interviews, all of it, ahead of the official announcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat announcement will confirm him as a British record signing at \u00a3125 million, joining Liverpool from Newcastle United on a six-year contract. His arrival gives the club another attacking option and has allowed Harvey Elliott to move on, with a potential deal lined up at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been one of the big sagas of the transfer window, and Liverpool making a huge deadline-day splash like this feels like the perfect ending to the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Isak might not be Liverpool\u2019s only deadline day signing as they are also looking to complete a deal for Marc Guehi, though this is far from guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace are struggling to land a suitable replacement, with O\u2019Connor making a \u201cvery real chance\u201d claim regarding this deal.<\/p>\n<p>Sky Sports\u2019 O\u2019Connor explained: \u201cLiverpool and Crystal Palace have agreed a \u00a335million deal, and Guehi has been given the green light to have his medical. That medical is happening down in London, which Liverpool planned in advance to make sure there were no timing issues with the 7pm deadline.<\/p>\n<p>#\u201dThe sticking point has been Crystal Palace needing a replacement before they let him go. They thought they had that lined up with Igor Julio, but that deal collapsed. Even so, Palace haven\u2019t told Guehi to abandon the medical or head back, so as far as I can tell, there\u2019s still a very real chance this transfer goes through.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A journalist has provided an update on Alexander Isak\u2019s proposed record move from Newcastle United to Liverpool for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[9261,748,393,4884,225,179,3047,12,101,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-389929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-alexander-isak","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-home-page","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-newcastle-united","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-premier-league","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115130558336197614","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
