Potential Premiership Transfer Dramas Featuring Isak and Garnacho: Deadline DayDecisions Likely to Continue Until Final Moments
The 2025/26 Premier League campaign has kicked off with a bang, as the transfer window is buzzing with excitement and drama. One of the most talked-about stories is the messy divorce of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, a saga that has captured the attention of football fans across the globe.
Alexander Isak has gone on strike and publicly declared his intent to never play for Eddie Howe's Newcastle side again. The striker's dissatisfaction led to a British-record transfer to Liverpool for around £125-144 million, a move that was finalized at the end of the summer transfer window. Isak signed a long-term contract until 2031, putting an end to his Newcastle chapter.
However, Liverpool is not done with Isak yet. Reports suggest that they are preparing a record-breaking new bid for the striker over the coming days. This comes after a £110 million bid was previously rejected by the St. James' Park hierarchy earlier in the month.
Meanwhile, another sensational summer transfer saga involves Alejandro Garnacho. The young talent is eager to leave Manchester United this summer, with Chelsea and the Red Devils in ongoing discussions for a potential move. However, there seems to be a significant difference in the valuations of Garnacho between the two clubs, with Manchester United valuing him at £50million, while Chelsea is only willing to pay around £25million. As a result, the situation has not been resolved yet, with Garnacho focused on securing a permanent move to Chelsea before the September 1st deadline.
The Garnacho transfer saga has been a hot topic in the Premier League, with the total spending for this summer's transfer window surpassing £2 billion. Other transfer sagas are expected to go down to the wire, with the September 1st deadline approaching.
Arne Slot's side, Nottingham Forest, has also been at the center of the Alexander Isak transfer saga. However, the striker chose Liverpool over Forest, much to the disappointment of Slot.
Elsewhere, Florian Wirtz completed a record-breaking £116 million move to Liverpool last month, making him the most expensive German player in history.
Amidst all the transfer drama, there have been some unusual incidents. A picture of Garnacho was defaced ahead of Manchester United's game against Arsenal, adding fuel to the speculation surrounding his future at the club. Garnacho has had multiple public disagreements with Ruben Amorim since November, further complicating his situation at Old Trafford.
As the transfer window closes in approximately two weeks, the Premier League clubs will be hoping to finalize their deals and prepare for the rest of the season. The summer transfer window has been a rollercoaster ride, and fans can only wait and see how it unfolds in the coming days.
