Despite Tempting Offers, Isak Refuses to Transfer to Saudi Al-Hilal

The Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United insists on continuing his journey in the English Premier League, rejecting the idea of moving to the Saudi Professional League, despite the tempting offers presented by Al-Hilal.

According to the football player transfer market expert and Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Isak has completely closed the door to negotiations with Al-Hilal, confirming that there are no ongoing talks between the two parties at the moment.


Romano explained on his "Ex" platform account that Isak has already turned down all offers from Saudi Arabia, preferring to stay in Europe to continue playing at the highest possible competitive level.

According to Romano, the only European club that has entered into actual negotiations with Isak so far is Liverpool, who have shown a clear desire to sign the player during this summer.

Isak did not travel with Newcastle for friendly matches in Asia in preparation for the new season, which strengthens the possibility of his departure from the club this summer.

Al-Hilal had shown strong interest in signing Isak during the current summer transfer window, after failing to sign the Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli, who preferred to sign for the Turkish club Galatasaray.

Media reports mentioned that Newcastle has set a €170 million price tag to part ways with their Swedish striker, a figure that many consider an unrealistic condition that may hinder the completion of the deal.
