reports that Al-Hilal know that convincing Isak to move to the Middle East at just 25 years of age would be a daunting task, but despite that challenge, they have reportedly gotten in touch with the attacker's agent as the club look to bolster their frontline ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Liverpool had earlier shown interest in Isak, but they have now turned their attention to Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike after being informed by the Magpies that their star player is not for sale. Isak had a dream journey in the 2024-25 campaign as he scored 23 league goals and finished just behind Golden Boot winner Mohamed Salah. He also played a key role in Newcastle winning the Carabao Cup.

Amid speculation over Isak's future, his representative has dropped a bombshell as it has been claimed that the 25-year-old is indeed going through all the offers and is considering his options.
