This has been pointed out by others before that Isak has a contract and once it becomes publicly known that top clubs are after him, the market value instantly increases due to clubs competing to sign him. They won't let Isak go for 75 million and you bring up a range that makes no sense in regards to your first sentence. You call 100 million outrageous and then you say that you think it will drop to a range of 75 to 95 million. That upper bound is essentially the number you call outrageous.

Given what the prices are that paid for players these days, is 100 million outrageous? There have been transfers that were so crazy that I think people got used to three figure transfer fees by now.

We can't really compared Isaak to the crazy transfer of Mbappe or someone else. Newcastle gives non sense fees just to ensure he was staying, and i see no other motive than it. So many clubs are keen in signing him, and that's the best way for Newcastle to keep him.

If things may not go so well for them, Isaak will leave. The only chance to buy out him is that when Newcastle did shit, and not qualify for the UCL. I hope he leaves from there cuz it's disappointing me to see a huge talent like him wasted on Newcastle.

It won't be that easy and for as long as Isak has a valid contract, there is nothing he can decide about unilaterally. Newcastle is not poor or anything, they have the resources to resist high offers if they think they can't find someone to replace him with the same quality and they know that having many millions more in their pockets doesn't mean anything if they can't sign an equally strong striker, which by the way would become quite difficult if they miss the Champions League for season 2025/2026.

Since he has a contract until 2027, Newcastle could keep him despite any offers from other clubs and try to regain their position among the top four to qualify for the Champions League and then still let him go because their chances to find a player that replaces him are of course several times higher if they are qualified for the most important international European competition.

Alexander Isak is the Arrow head of Newcastle at the moment, he is one of the leading goal scorers in the premier League, he stands out for Newcastle, so selling him is a definite NO NO for the Northeast English club.
Just as you've rightly put, the current owners of the club are financially buoyant, and they can keep him till the end of his contract in 2027, although Newcastle are currently 7th on the premier League table, with their chances of qualifying for the champions league looking a bit sketchy, However if the pressure comes too high on Newcastle to offload him, it will definitely be difficult for them to get Such a replacement in a short time, I feel they might likely increase his wages just to help pacify him to still stay.

Since being brought in from Manchester United, Antony has shown a good game and he can even help his team Real Betis to get good results. It seems like he has changed a lot and the coach seems to know exactly what to do with this player. It is proven that he is currently getting MVP again while defending Real Betis.
I see social media and there are many jokes from people, such as those who say Real Betis managed to get Antony along with his skills. Lol

Manchester United flop player, Anthony having great momentum in Real Betis. I'm curious, is this the same player that was having difficulties finding his prime in Manchester United, been the same player that adapt so swiftly in Real Betis? Anthony is on another level since going on a loan move to Real Betis. The brazilian have become key player for the team, we concord with his current prime in his new team. Anthony have these special qualities on the pitch, and yet, he didn't display this rare top skills at Old Trafford? Furthermore, we also understand that not all players can fit in so well in the English Premier League because there's more expectations and performance to trigger, but in Spain, there's actual less concern about the actions and performance of players. Anthony tag along so well with his new team, and he's making formidable stats on the pitch when featured in.

In my opinion, the Premier League is too competitive for Antony, while in La Liga with a different culture, Antony can easily find his best form again. Everyone knows, Manchester United had to spend no less than 95 million to pay Antony release clause from Ajax, but since he arrived Antony has failed to live up to expectations. Ten Hag and Ruben Amorim cannot be blamed for failing to manage Antony, and his good performance with Real Betis now does not indicate that Manuel Pellegrini knows how to manage Antony better.

Antony has been the subject of jokes on social media in the last two seasons, because he often plays badly on many occasions. His decision to move to Real Betis in my opinion is very right, it can save his career in the future. Real Betis may make a permanent contract offer for Antony in the summer, and Antony will most likely accept the offer. Returning to Manchester United next season will not change anything, Ruben Amorim will not count on him.

[Fiatless]

It can happen that he'll join Manchester United because if you see a desperate club you'd know and Manchester United are one

It cannot happen mate, Manchester United cannot sign Paul Pogba again. It is clear that United are having a very bad season and that is the reason why they have to get their transfer business right in the summer, and it is definitely not by signing Pogba again. United need young, talented and disciplined players, they have the money, so they are expected to make big signings. Pogba will find a club, but it would not be United and i will be surprised if it is a top club.

English Premier League clubs hardly sign players that had character issues relating to drugs, rape, domestic violence and others. That was why players like Benjamin Mendy and Mason Greenwood couldn't secure any deal even after they were acquitted by the court. I am not sure any club will be willing to get Paul Pogba because of his drug related issue. We are not even sure of his performance if he is still in good shape. I think he should consider moving to SPL or the MSL.

This shows that everyone in Man Utd plays bad . Antony was really good in Ajax before he moved to Man Utd and now after he left Man Utd he is great again. This shows that Man Utd just ruins players and everyone who leaves Man Utd plays much better. Currently at Betis he is the main player and doing everything for the team

Gedson Fernandes continues to attract a lot of interest from clubs. Especially Zenit and Spartak Moscow from Russia have made serious offers for him. However, Beşiktaş turned down these offers of 20-25 million Euro as they only own 50% of Gedson. Serdal Adalı is aiming to buy his entire contract. After that, the sale can take place. The target is to earn at least 15 million Euro from Gedson. This is a very reasonable profit for a player like him. I hope that an agreement will be reached with Benfica and Gedson will leave this team making money, if he will leave at all.

Well it's great to see Gedson Fernandes attracting interest from top Russian clubs. However I doubt Besiktas are going to let him go for a low transfer fee. He has been a key player for the club, and given his performances it would cost more than just 20-25 million Euros to sign him. His contract with Besiktas is valid until 2027 which strengthens the club's negotiating position and with interest from multiple clubs, Besiktas might hold out for a higher offer if they decide to sell him.

The player has showed his intention to leave as long as Newcastle can't qualify to the UCL. That's why i think UCL becomes a key to attract Isaak to come. You guys were right about his contract last until 2027, however, the player can decide his path by his own.

He can ask his team to leave after he agreed to leave. 100 million ain't nothing for a big club in PL. Newcastle has to make some preps his replacement. We know Newcastle is a wealthy club, but can't really keep him until 2027 if they're not progressed well until the end of season, then qualify for UCL.

Pogba will find a club, but it would not be United and i will be surprised if it is a top club.

Dean Huijsen is one of them... considered a young player and one of the most promising defenders in the world and whose contract may have a release clause in the summer, but they will have a fierce competition with Real Madrid and Chelsea before securing this signing.

But all of this is still speculation because the 19-year-old defender is one of the most promising in world football and arrived at Bournemouth in July 2024 for £12.8 million to take the defender away from Juventus, so I'm not sure if he will actually be open to negotiations or if Bournemouth will bring forward the renewal of his contract.

In any case, I read somewhere that United's list of "targets" is long and also includes other names such as Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton, Gonçalo Inácio from Sporting, and Jean-Clair Todibo from West Ham.

The question is which club is willing to pay Alexander Isak's release clause with a large enough figure, while the interest of top clubs with good finances has not shown much interest in him.
Alexander Isak is an important player for Newcastle and he has made a big contribution to the club, but this season has not been as good as last season so it is difficult for them to get into the top four of the standings.

Every player targets the Champions League as the highest place for them to play and maybe leaving makes sense for him.
But so far there is no certainty at all, although there will be surprises when the transfer market reopens.

Newcastle United is not a random team in EPL, they've gained their ground and become one of the elite team to push to greater heights and more. Eddie Howe have also done his part as manager, putting together a work force that have made his side reach some major stage in football. Alexander Isak is a prominent striker for Newcastle United, his presence matters a whole lot for the team and we've seen him in actions countless times in Newcastle jersey. Alexander Isak will leave if his side failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season? We should have a review on the table, Newcastle are ranked 7th position and that gives them 3 points gap behind the top four. Whereas this is mid season and important for them to be in pursuit for the competitive UCL race.

Lewandowski's contract ends in the 2026 season and I think before that Barcelona can sell him to a Saudi Arabian club so that Barcelona can make a profit because if he waits for his contract to end he will become a free agent and Saudi Arabian clubs will compete for this player, yes even though Lewandowski is an important player for Barcelona but at the age of 37 Barcelona certainly needs new regeneration and the sale of Lewandowski can be used by Barcelona to recruit younger players.

So far there has been no further discussion about Lewandowski and although it would be quite profitable for Barcelona to release him to the Saudi Arabian League because it has the potential to get a lot of money to regenerate the players they will buy in the next transfer market. His contract ends in 2026, Barcelona might take steps by extending it and if the offer does not come to him, but the problem is that Lewandowski's salary is quite large so it will be a little difficult for Barcelona, especially since he is no longer young and letting him go as a free agent will not benefit Barcelona.

Newcastle has been set Alexander Isak price tag and they demand 160 million to those who interested want to gets his sign and i know Isak is a good player with his current performance i think Isak is deserved to moved at the bigger club but this is very expensive price which i am sure some of clubs will withdraw from the race to gets him

Actually Arsenal is really want him they even really serious and will attempt to bid him this summer but after seeing his price tag i am sure Arsenal will switching their target and look for other players instead of Isak and for Chelsea and Liverpool too i highly doubt they will dare to buy Isak according to his price tag

I knew very well Newcastle was not a random club, and being considered as one of major club in PL. The problem is that they rarely won trophy. Meanwhile any footballers are always having trophies as the main target in their career. That's the reason i think Isaak won't say no if there will be a lucrative offer for him.

It's also his way to reach the huge success on his career as a footballer.

Lewandowski is already 36 years old, but he can still be relied on in the front line, this season he was recorded as the top scorer in La Liga, seeing other clubs that are still interested in recruiting him, it would be a big loss for Barcelona if they let him go as a free agent.
Barcelona also cannot rely on him for too long, his increasing age will greatly affect his performance, so far, Raphinha and Yamal are still very consistent in maintaining their performance, Barcelona needs to find a successor to Lewandowski who can be relied on to form a new trio on the front line.

Success is accomplished by consistency and determination. Get acquainted with the pattern of most of these competitive clubs in EPL. They're mainly present in competitive run but have absolutely nothing to do with winning titles. Newcastle United is seemly an illustration for such teams, they keep their hopes alive in every season, at the end of the day, nothing to show for it. Often, it's no longer a new thing to be inform about Newcastle United ineligible to win titles despite the good form they've been so far. The Magpies manager, Eddie Howe will work on his parts, he tried for the team, heaving the team to reach this level, he do deserves some accolades.

Remembering that Barcelona's old formation always appeared to rely on trio tactics on the front lines, making it difficult for the opponent's lower players to block. Raphinha and Yamal are still in good condition this season and have given their best performances, as has Lewandowski, who is no longer young but still not inferior to young players. Barcelona must prepare a replacement for Lewandowski before he plays at another club. I am very interested in his performance with Barcelona this season.

I also think that it is very important to consider Neymar’s work rate and injury problems before making a decision to resign him. The Neymar of today is obviously not the Neymar of old days Barcelona, so much has changed and if you ask me I would clearly suggest that they forget this Neymar saga and move on for good because bringing Neymar back will only bring more issues than solutions.

His hopes of wearing the Barcelona uniform again are almost impossible due to his increasing age and Hansi Flick also relying more on young players from La Masia. In my opinion, if Barcelona had to bring in a senior player, they would rather bring in Messi than Neymar. The reason is very simple, Neymar is recovering from an ACL injury, so it is very difficult for him to compete for a starting position at a big club like Barcelona.

Yes Messi is better when compared to Neymar but I'm sure Messi is comfortable in MLS and wants to conquer a different league, Messi has won many awards in the European league and it's no longer his time there and Barcelona can certainly understand that and also Neymar's glory days have faded and it's time for him to rest because he is prone to injury if he joins any club it is feared that it will be a nuisance for the club itself I also don't think Barcelona wants to accommodate him.

I must admit that Newcastle United is an elite team in the EPL because they have clear and disciplined club management for several seasons. Although now it is not as aggressive as last season but if you look at the effectiveness of its players, of course Newcastle United is better than teams like Manchester United and Tottenham at this time. Now Newcastle players are being targeted by many big clubs, especially the appearance of Alexander Isak, so it is possible that he will choose a team above him that can fulfill his ambitions in competitions like the UCL.

Neymar has moved away from football in my opinion. He can continue to broadcast on Twitch. It seems like he is turning to the field instead of football. Of course, he earns astronomical money from football. However, his recent situation due to injuries shows us that the old Neymar will not come back. He could never even wear the uniform in Saudi Arabia, he could never play. Which European team would want to buy him, pay a lot of money and buy their team?

I am not sure if twitch is way to go for him, but I am pretty sure that he has moved away from football already. I get that he may have some talent, but his body can't handle football anymore and this is why he shouldn't even attempt anymore. He tried, many many times over, and it just didn't work out for him in the end. He can even just resign from his current contract, take 2 years of just body building and relaxing and trying to be in peak physical condition, like return to football 2 years later when he is in much better physical condition, maybe better than he has ever been. Even then, even if he does that, he is going to make a comeback and then get injured again, even if he doesn't, the doubt that he might prevents him.

So, he should just stop because his body can't take it anymore and he might be talented but he is just not doing anything great anymore, can't even properly run anymore, he just doesn't feel like he worths any money anymore. He should just retire.

Barcelona must sell Lewandowski before his market value decreases, this is the right time when Lewandowski is in demand by Saudi Arabian clubs and dares to take a high price. The profit from the sale can be used to buy players with fresher quality. Don't delay this opportunity too much, Barcelona is improving its finances so at least they have to be realistic in taking every advantage.

Thanks god! Arda and Endrick are starting to realize if staying at Real Madrid won't help them a lot to develop their talent. Madrid is a world class club, but if they got no minutes, the better for them to leave.

I hope this news is coming true consider they lacked minutes at Madrid. Ancelotti rarely gave his young lads trust to play, and keep to play the old players. That's why i think Madrid is good as a club, but bad for talent development.

They have to leave. If they stay even longer, they only destroyed their future.
