Newcastle is apparently seriously evaluating an offer of that amount, even though Chelsea is supposedly willing to spend about £83 million to get Alexander Isak, which is far less than his asking price. After a decline in performance over the previous two seasons, the Blues have recovered to compete close to the top of the table this season. Currently ranked second in the Premier League, they have finished sixth and 12th in the previous two seasons.
Despite Nicolas Jackson’s relative consistency this season, they have kept searching for a new striker as well. As far as TEAMtalk knows, Chelsea has expressed interest in signing Isak from Newcastle. A recent report from Fichajes claims that they are prepared to spend around €100 million (£82.8 million/$105.8 million) on him. It’s thought that the Magpies are giving a deal of that magnitude considerable thought.
Alexander Isak is now Chelsea’s top priority
Isak is a 25-year-old football player who has made a name for himself in the sport. His ability to score goals, adapt to different situations, and build relationships with teammates has drawn interest from a number of top clubs. The forward has improved season after season at Newcastle, where he has become a vital member of the team’s Premier League and European ambitions.
The Swedish attacker is viewed by Chelsea as the man who can turn around their front line, which has lacked vigor in previous years. The Blues think they can fight at the top level in Europe and regain their position at the top of the Premier League with an attack led by Isak. The transaction won’t be simple, though, since Newcastle views the player as one of their most precious assets, and any trade would have to be supported both financially and athletically.
