Alexander Isak sell-on clause, £30m revelation and the reality behind contract rumours

Whether or not we prefer it or not, Alexander Isak’s gorgeous kind received’t cease the media and followers of different golf equipment discussing a possible summer season transfer for the Swedish celebrity.

He’s clearly loving life on Tyneside, scoring objectives for enjoyable and spent Saturday lifting a trophy in entrance of 300,000 followers singing his identify.

With summer season bids inevitable and Newcastle getting ready to supply him a brand new improved contract to reward his performances and tie him down, he’s the discuss of Tyneside proper now, as highlighted by The Athletic’s newest piece at present.

In a Q&A session held by The Athletic’s Newcastle writers this afternoon, one fan requested: “Is there any reality within the hearsay that Isak has rejected a contract supply?”

North East reporter Chris Waugh provided a reasonably agency denial of that and some new items of knowledge on the striker, which solely strengthens our argument to demand mega cash for the Swede this summer season.

Waugh revealed that Newcastle nonetheless have round £30m of amortisation prices left to pay on Isak, including {that a} sell-on clause was additionally inserted into his contract by Actual Sociedad following a £63m transfer again in August 2022.

Responding to the fan asking if he’d rejected a brand new deal, Waugh mentioned: “Not that I’m conscious (he hasn’t rejected a brand new deal). The messages again on that entrance is that nothing has modified; contract talks will happen in the direction of the again finish of the season, if not post-season itself, as soon as Newcastle have found whether or not they are going to be enjoying Champions League soccer in 2025-26.

“There is no such thing as a instant rush at Newcastle’s finish. Whereas they ideally need to tie Isak right down to an prolonged deal on improved phrases, provided that will increase the chance of protecting him long run, the striker will nonetheless have three years remaining on his contract come the summer season and is amongst their highest earners.

“The membership insist they’re in a robust place to rebuff curiosity, too. There’s nonetheless round £30m of amortisation prices concerning Isak, plus Actual Sociedad inserted a sell-on clause in his deal, so Newcastle would wish an astronomical supply to even ponder promoting Isak, past the actual fact he’s world class and is borderline priceless to them from a footballing perspective.

“Sadly the noise surrounding Isak and the fixed hypothesis is not going to die down, as irritating as I do know many Newcastle followers discover it. The world’s elite golf equipment admire and covet Isak as a result of he’s a top-quality striker, which is a scarce useful resource. Newcastle, nonetheless, are decided to try to delay his St James’ Park keep.”

The membership could reject all presents given the dimensions of PIF’s ambitions and his significance to our crew, however the reality Actual Sociedad inserted a sell-on clause into his £63m transfer to Newcastle will solely enhance our calls for.

Say they inserted a 20% clause, it will imply a £150m deal, for arguments sake, would earn the La Liga aspect £30m and see Newcastle miss out on a sizeable chunk.

Hopefully we don’t even have to have this dialog anytime quickly and all golf equipment are priced out of a deal, however that is simply one other instance as to why Liverpool, Arsenal or anybody else will wrestle to afford our star man.
