Recently, there have been updates on the transfer progress between Saudi giant Al Hilal and Newcastle United forward Isak. It is reported that Al Hilal has officially approached the Swedish striker, hoping to sign him this summer.
Sources say that Al Hilal has made contact with Isak's team.
According to previous media reports, although Al Hilal and Napoli had reached an agreement to sign Osimhen, the Nigerian striker still prefers to join Galatasaray. Faced with this situation, Al Hilal has not abandoned the idea of signing a well-known center forward. After evaluating the possibility of signing Juventus forward Vlahović and even considering Aubameyang, they finally decided to set their sights higher and target Isak.
Signing the Newcastle United forward is an extremely difficult task, but this has not deterred Al Hilal. They hope to maintain the team's competitiveness after reaching the quarter-finals of this Club World Cup, so as to achieve better results in top-level competitions in the future.
Al Hilal has had initial contact with Isak's team and is well aware of the relevant transfer conditions: Newcastle has set an asking price of €130 million. Isak's current contract with the club is valid until June 2028. Upon learning of Al Hilal's interest in him, Isak agreed to start negotiations with the Saudi side. Although he has not yet decided whether he is willing to play in the Saudi league, he is at least willing to listen to the financial and competitive conditions that Al Hilal can offer.
Newcastle knows that many clubs are interested in Isak, so they are actively planning to strengthen their forward line. They are pushing forward with plans to sign Brentford forward Mbeumo. This player is also on Tottenham's transfer list, and Tottenham are also looking for a forward.
