Alexander Isak Transfer Odds: Liverpool favourites to pry Newcastle’s star man

Arsenal @ 14/1

How many years have we been telling Arsenal they need a striker? Too many, and it has had a detrimental effect on their ambitions to win the Premier League. Mikel Arteta is shopping for a forward this summer but it currently looks like any potential deal for Isak will be too expensive for them, hence why they are looking in Europe.

The two strikers they are chasing as per reports are RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres. Isak may be perfect for the Gunners given his record in the division but trying to sign him from a direct rival will result in an added tax to the transfer fee, which is probably why Arsenal haven't even tried and have gone elsewhere.

Bayern Munich @ 14/1

Bayern Munich are blessed with an array of attacking talent, which may be appealing to a player of Isak's quality, while Die Roten would have the financial backing to strike a deal that may appease Newcastle.

However, the Bundesliga champions have Harry Kane leading the line for them right now and he is continuing to show that he is still one of the best centre-forwards in the world. I'm not sure Isak would like that much competition as he may look to go to a club where he will unquestionably be the main man.

Alexander Isak Transfer Odds

Barcelona @ 20/1

Hansi Flick has just led Barcelona to a domestic treble as the historic club aims to go back to being a force on the European stage. They made it to the Uefa Champions League semi-finals but were beaten in dramatic fashion in extra time following one of the most exciting two-legged ties in the history of the sport.

Barca have veteran Robert Lewandowski in their ranks to play up front, while Ferran Torres has sometimes been deployed there. Isak is the kind of profile that may help take the Spanish giants to another level, and he has experience of playing in La Liga already with Real Sociedad.

Barcelona, despite recent financial troubles, still appear to be a club who may be able to broker such a deal, while their name carries much weight in the footballing world. If they came knocking, Isak would certainly hear what they had to say.

Real Madrid @ 25/1

Real Madrid are another team you'd find it hard to ignore if they came calling but right now it's hard to envisage Isak there with Kylian Mbappe the current face of Los Blancos.

Yes, the Frenchman can play out wide to accommodate a potential move for Isak, but the truth is Mbappe has had a remarkable campaign through the middle, scoring 43 goals in 53 matches across all competitions - so Isak would face a tough battle to play on a regular basis.

PSG @ 33/1

Now, this one interests me given the price. Paris Saint-Germain are arguably becoming one of the most attractive clubs in Europe because of their success this season, a treble including their first-ever Champions League title, and the way they play.

Luis Enrique has Les Parisiens playing some of the most exciting football we've seen in years and his squad is filled with talent. They boast conceivably the best full-backs in the world in Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, a world-class shot-stopper in Gianluigi Donnarumma, while the front three of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue is the most eye-catching in the world right now.

Isak's technical quality, along with his goalscoring instincts, would thrive in this team, and money would be no issue for the French club when structuring a deal. Unlike a few years ago, if PSG are asking about the hottest talent in Europe, players will likely make time to hear the pitch.
