Liverpool did it. After spending crazy sums to recruit Florian Wirtz (€ 125 million), Hugo Ekitike (€ 95 million), Milos Kerkez (€ 47 million), Jeremie Frimpong (€ 40 million) and Giovanni Leoni (€ 31 million), the Mersey club blew up the bank by spending € 145 million to pay Alexander Isak. At the end of an intense battle with Newcastle, the Champions of England ended up convincing the magic to let go of their attacker.
A blow for the Tyneside club which could not do anything to prevent an Isak Bouder from rally Anfield. For its part, Liverpool has exploded all the records. Isak has become the most expensive recruit in the history of the Premier League and the third in the history of football (behind Kylian Mbappé and Neymar). Finally, Liverpool spent almost € 490 million this summer to strengthen. Inevitably, the pressure will be maximum on the shoulders of the new number 9 of the Reds. But the latter is eager to do battle.
Isak was won
“It is a mixture between what the club is building and what it builds in addition to what it is already. The history of the club. I am lucky to be one of all this, I want to write the story. I want to win trophies. It is ultimately my biggest motivation and I think it is the ideal place to progress even more, to get high speed and help the team. I think this is the next step in my career ”he said, before continuing.
“I am very happy to have this chance and I am very motivated to get the most out of it. It's so exciting. I think it's something difficult to express with words, I think you have to live it to be able to explain it. I think we all know what Liverpool is, fans and what they represent. So, yes, I can't wait to live this experience ”he said on the official Reds website.
