00:00Alexander Isak's future at Newcastle United is a hot topic heading into the summer transfer window.
00:07The Swedish striker has been pivotal in the Magpies' offensive play,
00:11but recent reports suggest that Premier League giants, especially Arsenal, are keen on bringing him in.
00:18Arsenal are reportedly considering a significant offer for Isak, aiming to bolster their attacking options.
00:24However, Newcastle are not determined to sell the 25-year-old with three years on his contract.
00:31Despite this, Isak is believed to be open to a move to the Emirates if the opportunity arises,
00:36though he is not actively pushing for a transfer away from St James' Park.
00:41In addition to Arsenal, Liverpool have also shown interest in Isak.
00:46Reports suggest that he is intrigued by the possibility of joining Liverpool,
00:50a club that could look to upgrade their forward line after a title-winning season.
00:56However, Newcastle's stance is firm on keeping their key players,
01:01and it means that any potential transfer would require a large bid to convince them to part ways with the Swedish forward.
01:08To prepare for all possibilities, Newcastle are reportedly scouting potential replacements should Isak leave.
01:15Among the names on the club's radar are RB like Ziggs Benjamin Sesko,
01:20Wolverhampton Wunders' Mateus Cunha and Paris Saint-Germain's Randall Colomuani,
01:25who is currently on loan from Juventus.
01:28Newcastle's transfer plans will likely hinge on whether they secure a spot in next season's Champions League.
01:35If they do, it will provide a greater financial flexibility and enhance the club's appeal
01:39to potential signings with an estimated £150 million available.
01:45Sporting directster Paul Mitchell is poised to make key decisions and strengthen the squad further.
01:50And they've got their heroes in the team, and I encourage that.
01:53And I do think we've got some iconic players who will go down in, to Dom's point,
01:59as legends of the football club in the future, but they've still got to sort of cement that legacy.
02:03Ensuring that Isak remains at the club will be a critical decision in Newcastle's long-term strategy
02:10as they continue their quest for European success.
