It was an offer that Real Sociedad could not refuse even in their wildest dreams.
And suddenly Alexander Isak, 22, became the most expensive Swedish football player of all time.
Maybe he couldn’t say no either.
Felt like loose rumors all summer.
After all, everything will come Alexander Isaac22, has had his weakest season to date real communityThe shirt has only six goals in the league. Compared to what it was a year or six months ago, the interest in the Sweden striker has generally looked great.
On Wednesday morning, Mundo Deportivo announced that “the danger is over” and that La Real currently expects no better offer than to reject before the deadline.
The news did not have to subside before Diario Vasco broke their news.
70 + 5 million euros. We agreed. The most expensive Real Sociedad sale ever.
Of course, the Basques could not refuse.
Alexander Isaacs probably couldn’t either, although there are things to think about when everything now indicates he’s leaving San Sebastian for Newcastle.
Athlete grading here and now
It is of course possible to discuss the ethics of choosing funds in Newcastle given their source. It really goes without saying.
But it is also possible to discuss Isaacs’ choice from a purely mathematical perspective.
Real Sociedad plays in the Europa League this season as well and has shown, with the cup title in 2021, that it is indeed a club where you can lift titles.
Newcastle is not yet a club that holds its title.
Newcastle is not a club that plays in Europe yet.
Mathematically speaking, they are a step down here and now.
But Newcastle will get there, sooner or later. And the Premier League A league that will continue to widen an already wide open gap and lead the rest of the major European leagues.
A gap that has become impossible to fill again.
Because it is clear that the Premier League has already become the Premier League that was feared to become.
Everything has been thought of
Throwing Nottingham Forest with transfer billions into the market, as a newcomer, shows this. PL’s selection of key players in Champions League teams (see Diego Carlos for Aston Villa) shows this as well.
Oak Newcastle then.
The club that finished 11th in the table last year but everyone can see will grow in tandem with the investment of millions in the team.
At the same time, it seems that they have thus far acted very wisely and soberly in their recruitment processes. Everything has an idea one way or another. Even a lot of money for Chris Wood.
And that’s where we come to what might be very promising about this standard move that’s happening right now.
That this particular Newcastle project wants to pay the amount they are going to do now.
Shows how high its value is
Because Newcastle did not throw the Saudi billions without thought, rhyme and reason. They sometimes paid what was required. But they were always careful not to overpay and set a price precedent that they were unwilling to stick to.
In other words, this Alexander Isak investment shows how incredibly ‘The Magpies’ we value our Swedish national team, which will soon be the most expensive Swedish national team of all time depending on how you count. It shows how important a role he will really play in Newcastle’s path to the top. After all, it would be their first really big transitional hit.
With both his unique qualities and Newcastle’s needs in mind, the feeling is that this could be an incredibly successful combination.
No matter what one thinks this is actually happening.
