Isak's transfer to Liverpool was completed on Monday, with the club signing him for a British record transfer fee of £125M. Isak had expressed his desire to leave Newcastle and join Liverpool, citing the need to create history and win trophies under manager Arne Slot.

The move was not without its challenges, as Isak had been omitted from Newcastle's pre-season tour of Asia and had refused to play in their opening three games of the 2025-26 Premier League season. He had also trained alone ahead of the transfer.

The controversy surrounding Isak's move has sparked debate about player loyalty and the strength of contracts in the modern market. Isak claimed that Newcastle had broken promises and that the relationship could not continue.

Isak will now join the Liverpool squad, wearing the number nine shirt, and will be on international duty with Sweden before returning to Merseyside. He expressed his relief and happiness in joining the side, stating that he's proud to be a part of the team and looking forward to seeing his teammates and the fans.

Isak's move to Liverpool has brought a sense of closure to the saga, with his agent's message to Newcastle adding fuel to the fire.
