AI predicts if Liverpool will sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United - and for how much

Liverpool’s pursuit of Alexander Isak this summer is the biggest story in world football right now, at least when it comes to transfers.

The ‘will they, won’t they’ saga has rumbled on this weekend with the news of Liverpool’s bid for the Magpies’ star being rejected. The narrative seems to change every hour, but talk has now been that they won’t return with a second bid. Believe this one is over at your peril, especially with around four weeks of the window still to run.

Liverpool eye Alexander Isak transfer

The Reds first noted their interest in the Sweden international while the Magpies were looking to nab Hugo Ekitike in a deal of their own. Of course, the player ended up at Anfield anyway, with Newcastle pulling out when it became clear the Frenchman wasn’t keen on the move.

Many thought that would bring an end to the Isak interest, but it didn’t clearly. Since then the Reds have firmed up their intentions with a bid for the player, after Isak pulled out of United’s pre-season tour to the Far East. Isak has been training this week in Spain, but will be expected to be back on Tyneside next week, when the players make a full return from South Korea.

The bid Liverpool tabled is said to be in the region of £110million. This is a long way below the figure Newcastle value the player, who still has three years left on his Magpies’ contract. Newcastle would entertain an offer around £150million, but even a fee of that size may not be enough, could they not get a suitable replacement through the door.

Will Isak sign for Liverpool?

So, we decided to ask AI toll Grok for an answer on whether Isak will leave NUFC for Liverpool - and here’s what it said...

Stay likelihood: Moderate (60%)

“Newcastle’s strong bargaining position (three-year contract, no PSR pressure) and Eddie Howe’s influence make retention possible, but Isak’s ambitions and interest from elite clubs pose risks.”

Leave likelihood: Moderate (40%)

“Isak’s desire to leave, Liverpool’s interest, and his salary demands increase the chance of a transfer, but Newcastle’s high valuation and strategic planning (e.g., targeting replacements) may deter suitors.”

Key factors: “The outcome hinges on Isak’s commitment and Newcastle’s ability to execute deals efficiently. Retaining Isak appears slightly more likely given their firm stance and financial stability, but his departure could transform the window into a high-stakes rebuild.

“However, predictions are speculative and based on available information up to August 1, 2025. Transfer markets are fluid, and late developments could alter outcomes.”
