Newcastle United has sent shockwaves through the transfer market, setting an astronomical price tag on their star striker, Alexander Isak. The Swedish international's impressive performances this season have attracted interest from top European clubs, but the Magpies have made it clear that they will only part with their prized asset for a staggering fee.

Isak has been in scintillating form this season, netting 12 goals and providing 4 assists in just 19 appearances. His performances have caught the eye of several top clubs, including Arsenal and FC Barcelona, who have been linked with a move for the talented forward. However, any potential suitors will have to dig deep into their pockets if they want to secure Isak's signature.

According to The Times, Newcastle United has slapped a colossal £150 million price tag on the Swedish international, equivalent to €180 million. This exorbitant fee is designed to ward off potential suitors and ensure that the Magpies retain one of their most valuable assets.

While the price tag may seem excessive, it reflects the importance of Isak to Newcastle's ambitions. The Swedish striker has been instrumental in the club's recent success, and his departure would be a significant blow to the team's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.

The report suggests that any potential transfer for Isak is unlikely to happen in the January transfer window. However, the summer transfer window could see a flurry of activity as clubs look to strengthen their squads. With such a high price tag attached to his name, it remains to be seen whether any club is willing to meet Newcastle's demands.

The Magpies' decision to set such a high price tag on Isak is a clear indication of their ambition. The club is determined to build a team capable of challenging for major honors, and they believe that Isak is a key part of their long-term plans.
