He is currently training in his former club, Real Sociedad in Spain, and Newcastle becomes aware of the situation.

Top 10 highest Premier League transfers that have been adapted for inflation
On July 30, 1996, Newcastle made the legendary striker the most expensive footballer in the world in a 15 million pound deal with blackburn.

“It only shows you the ambition of Newcastle United. We are now the largest team in Europe.”

Football Finance experts, Valuball, had Newcastle Liverpools £ 120 -Mio. -Pfund for Isak assumed that he would not even crack the list of the top 20 Premier League obligations if it was adapted to inflation.

Liverpool would still keep the second overall reasons behind Shearer – but through Stan Collymore, not by Isak.
The couple would hold a link if the Reds follows the Reds, whereby Collymores Transfer from 1995 was for the first time that the current master broke the British transfer record in the Premier League era.

Arsenal’s only involvement in the list has the Gunners in third place, with Dennis Bergkamps moving 7.5 million GBP from Inter Milan now 189 million GBP worth 189 million GBP.

Why don’t Liverpool break against PSR?
“Liverpool is in an incredibly strong position,” Football Finance Expert Maguire recently told Talksport.
“With regard to the money that comes in Anfield, you now have an extended stadium and the new tickets and the new places that are available for hospitality, and the earnings tend to go very high there.
“You have the new shirt deal that will enter Adidas on August 1, which will be a significant increase.
“You are incredibly popular with sponsors, and the sponsors have bonuses for you who won the Premier League, so all of these are positive in terms of money.
“If you look at the players who went … Trent [Alexander-Arnold] Left, he was on a very high wage [Jarell] Quansah has gone – that will be pure profit. So they are actually in a strong position.
“And then I have the characters in front of me in relation to the expenses and the entire old school ‘Big Six’, Liverpool took sixth place in the position [of net spend] Over the past three to four years.
“So you actually kept your powder dry relative to the other clubs.
“During this time you spent a billion pounds less than Chelsea.
“So they are actually able to spend now because they were pretty careful in the last windows.”
