According to Daily MailThe Chelsea asked for information on the class of ’99: there have been conversations between the two clubs and Blues have expressed their intention to purchase the Swedish striker. To reach a possible agreement however, i Magpies they are asking for a record sum, higher than the £115 million paid for Moises Caicedo.
According to the English tabloid at the moment the value Isak’s fee is double the £63m Newcastle paid Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022.
