NEWCASTLE PREPARE FOR ISAK EXIT? MAGPIES EYE JUVENTUS' VLAHOVIC AS REPLACEMENT – BUT FACE MAN UTD & SPURS COMPETITION
Newcastle United are stepping up contingency plans for a potential Alexander Isak departure, with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic identified as their primary replacement target—but the Magpies face stiff competition from Manchester United and Tottenham for the Serbian hitman.
The £120m-rated Isak has been sensational this season (21 Premier League goals), attracting serious interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG. With Financial Fair Play (FFP) pressures looming, Newcastle may be forced to cash in—and have already begun scouting alternatives.
Why Vlahovic is Newcastle’s Top Choice
✔ Proven Scorer – 18 goals in Serie A last season
💥 Physical Presence – Ideal for Premier League transition
💰 More Affordable – Juve want €60m (£50m), cheaper than Osimhen/Gyokeres
Competition for Vlahovic
Manchester United
🔹 INEOS pushing for clinical No. 9
🔹 Højlund-Vlahovic partnership potential
Tottenham Hotspur
🔹 Postecoglou admires his hold-up play
🔹 Son Heung-min link-up appeal
Newcastle’s Dilemma
💰 Must sell to buy big – Isak or Bruno Guimarães likely sacrifices
🇸🇦 Saudi interest in Isak growing – Al-Hilal preparing £100m+ bid
⚖️ FFP deadline pressure – Need to balance books by June 30
What’s Next?
Newcastle to accelerate Vlahovic talks if Isak bid arrives
Man Utd & Spurs monitoring situation closely
Juventus open to sale but want quick resolution
Will Newcastle lose their star man? Or can they pull off a swap coup?
