Now it’s official – Alexander Isak is the new Magpie! The transfer that surprised many has now definitely been completed in record time. Newcastle have never paid nearly as much money for a single player, just as Real Sociedad have never received half of the money that will arrive from St. James’ Park. It’s a deal worth 70,000,000 euros, plus five million in bonuses and another 10% from the next sale.HERE. WE.

The two previously spent two full days in Spain to agree on all the transfer details with Real Sociedad.A warm welcome. 🤝 pic.twitter.com/vvYhjVP7ZT— Newcastle United FC (@NUFC) August 26, 2022 Considering Isak’s age (23), he has plenty of time and space to prove that he is worth the money he was paid.
