A fresh transfer twist has emerged in the saga linking Alexander Isak with a move to Arsenal, as respected journalist David Ornstein reports that Newcastle United are only willing to sanction the striker’s exit if a very specific condition is fulfilled.

Speaking in a press briefing earlier today, Ornstein revealed that while Newcastle are reluctant to lose their star forward, the club may be forced into a sale under one circumstance.

“Newcastle United will consider selling Alexander Isak to Arsenal, but only if one specific condition is fulfilled,” Ornstein stated. “The club’s financial situation amid Profit and Sustainability Rule pressures means that a record-breaking fee would have to be agreed — one that Arsenal may find difficult to match unless they offload key players themselves.”

Sources close to both clubs have indicated that Newcastle are holding out for a fee in excess of £100 million, which would make Isak one of the most expensive transfers in Premier League history. The Magpies see Isak as a crucial part of their long-term project but are aware of the financial balancing act they face heading into the summer window.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is known to be a huge admirer of the Swedish striker, seeing him as the ideal long-term replacement for Gabriel Jesus and a perfect fit for the Gunners’ fluid attacking style.

However, Arsenal would likely need to offload one or two key squad players to make room both financially and within their squad quota — with names like Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith Rowe tipped as possible departures.

For now, Isak remains a Newcastle player, but the situation is one to watch closely as both clubs head into a crucial summer window.
