Reports have linked Alexander Isak with a move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
The agent of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has suggested a decision on the Sweden international’s next move is “close”.
Isak has enjoyed three impressive seasons with Newcastle, racking up 54 goals in 86 Premier League games, and has found himself subject to significant transfer speculation. While Barcelona are repeatedly named as ambitious, long-term suitors, Liverpool made the first move this summer with an approach for Isak which was eventually rebuffed and sparked the deal for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitiké instead.
Reports have also named Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal as a potential destination for Isak. L’Équipe claimed on Monday morning that the 25-year-old has opened the door to the Middle East and talks between the two parties have been ongoing for several days.
Saudi outlet Arriyadiyah reached out to one of Isak’s representatives, Gonzalo Gaitan, who offered a cryptic response to the ongoing speculation.
