Al-Hilal Tempt Alexander Isak with £600,000-a-Week Offer Amid Newcastle Exit Push

Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal have tabled a jaw-dropping £600,000-a-week tax-free contract to lure Alexander Isak away from Newcastle United, according to The Guardian.

The lucrative offer comes after Isak submitted a formal transfer request to Newcastle and was notably left out of the club’s preseason tour of Asia. Sources suggest Al-Hilal are prepared to sweeten the deal with performance-based bonuses, including rewards for winning the Saudi Pro League, lifting the AFC Champions League, or if Isak finishes as top scorer in either competition.

The 25-year-old Swedish striker has become one of the most sought-after talents in European football, drawing interest from several top clubs — including Liverpool. However, the Premier League side may struggle to compete financially. Not only is Al-Hilal’s offer well beyond Liverpool’s wage structure, but Newcastle’s £120 million valuation could also prove too steep after the Reds’ £300 million summer spending spree.

Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have already bolstered their squad with key signings such as Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez.
