Al-Hilal Targets Isak with Multi-Million Salary Proposal

Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal has offered Alexander Isak a staggering £600,000-a-week contract, according to The Guardian.

The 25-year-old Newcastle striker has reportedly informed the Magpies' management that he is open to considering offers from other clubs.

Liverpool continues to monitor Isak's situation, despite the recent acquisition of Hugo Ekitike. The player himself is reportedly open to a potential move to Anfield and would welcome an offer from the Merseyside club.

Al-Hilal's offer is a pre-tax sum of £600,000 per week, plus additional bonuses. The report notes that Liverpool is unlikely to match these financial terms. It also remains unclear whether the Reds could afford Isak's transfer fee, which is expected to be around £120 million.

Isak currently earns £120,000 a week at Newcastle, before taxes and national insurance contributions, which are at least 47%.

Al-Hilal, under the leadership of Simone Inzaghi, are looking to enhance their offer to the striker by including performance-related bonuses—specifically tied to winning the domestic league, the Asian Champions League, or topping the goal-scoring charts.

Alexander Isak has reportedly been unsettled amid the ongoing transfer speculation, and notably sat out Newcastle's recent friendly against Celtic.

The Magpies are adamant about keeping him, and supporters—especially given the club’s Saudi ownership—would likely be dismayed if he were allowed to leave for Al-Hilal, another team backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

Liverpool are unlikely to compete with the lucrative contract terms offered by Al-Hilal, and there's uncertainty over whether they could even match the £120 million valuation Newcastle have placed on Isak.

The Merseyside club have already made significant signings this summer, including striker Hugo Ekitiké from Eintracht Frankfurt for £79 million, and midfield star Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a £116 million deal.

Other major additions include Milos Kerkez (£40 million from Bournemouth), Jeremie Frimpong (£29.5 million from Leverkusen), and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili (£25 million from Valencia).

Offsetting some of this spending are player sales, most notably Jarell Quansah to Leverkusen for £30 million, Caoimhín Kelleher to Brentford for £12.5 million, and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid for £10 million. Taking these into account, Liverpool’s net transfer spend currently sits at £235.5 million.

Additional funds might be raised through potential sales of Darwin Núñez, Harvey Elliott, or Luis Díaz—though the club insists that Díaz is not on the market.

Isak remains tied to a contract with Newcastle until 2028.
