Michael Owen advises Newcastle to retain Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, stayed with the team during the winter transfer window. Although there was little talk of a move in January, clubs like Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) could try to sign him this summer. Reports suggest that PSG may offer a player swap deal to acquire Isak. Liverpool is also interested in the 25-year-old striker. A journalist from Sky Switzerland has reported that the club is in talks with Isak's representatives and may make a large bid for him. Newcastle reportedly values Isak at €180 million (£150 million), which would set a record for Liverpool. Former England striker Michael Owen recently advised Newcastle to keep Isak. He mentioned on talkSPORT that selling him would not be in the club's best interest. Owen believes Isak is a key player who can help the team reach a higher level, rather than just filling the squad with several average players. In light of the interest from other clubs, Newcastle is considering offering Isak a new contract that would nearly double his current salary. Isak is reportedly happy at Newcastle and feels he can achieve his goals with the team. However, he plans to put off any contract talks until the summer, despite interest from major clubs.
