Liverpool has achieved a historic transfer by signing Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for a British record fee of approximately 130 million pounds ($175 million), according to reports from Sky Sports News and The Athletic.

The extensive negotiations have been a focal point of the Premier League transfer period, culminating in Liverpool's increased bid after an initial 110 million-pound offer was declined earlier this August.

Isak had an impactful previous season, scoring 23 league goals to propel Newcastle to a fifth-place finish and a spot in the Champions League. Despite not accompanying Newcastle on their pre-season tour, Isak's desire to depart the club amid broken promises has been expressed openly.
