Newcastle United are in the striker market, but now the change in mind may be delayed, and they are turning their attention to the direction of a move to replace Joainwissa.
Alexander Isaac sets out from Newcastle United in search of a magpie
The deadline is finally here, and Alexander Isaac is finally set to set off Newcastle United for Liverpool, setting the curtain down on the summer window story.
Fabrizio Romano at X confirmed that Swedish International is ready for medical care ahead of the £130 million move to Anfield, allowing Eddiehau and Piff an opportunity to look for late alternatives.
“Alexander Isaac to Liverpool, I’m off here! The deal agreed now with a £130 million transfer fee. A record move in the Premier League. He’s in the middle of today for medical tests as a new Liverpool player who signed a long-term contract a few months ago. It’s always Liverpool for Isaac.”
Of course, Newcastle United striker Nick Ultemad was able to fit that mold after signing the dotted line from Stuttgart. But he will not be the only arrival before the end of tonight’s play.
Later, Roman striker Artem Dovbyk has emerged as a magpie loan target in a deal that could take the form of first seasonal agreements with an option to buy for around £30 million.
Finalizing the deal in this later stage is always a competition with time, but if Newcastle wants to compete with Premier League rivals after the overwhelming start of the campaign, they don’t have much choice.
Nevertheless, they don’t wait for the target. The latest developments give credit as Howe desperately searches the market for strikers.
Newcastle is targeting the late Randall Colom Ani contract
According to X’s Sacha Tavolieri, Newcastle was irritated with pursuing Brentford’s Joan Wissa and moved to Paris Saint-Germain forward Randall Coro Muani, which emerged as his 11th hour goal.
Now considered a replacement for the Congolese striker, the Magpie looks ready to beat the clock to try and win France International, who scored 10 times in his most recent successful loan spell at Juventus and supported three goals in 22 matches.
Koro Muani earns around £150,000 a week, making it an expensive import. Still, his salary is within the financial capabilities of the PIF and does not cause any major issues at the end of the window.
Either way, when Newcastle appears to play for his signature, the clock is ticking through the clock, making it seem like he’s actually watching this saga at the last hour of the window.
