Journalist Alex Crook revealed that Swedish striker Alexander Isak, the star of Newcastle United, has asked the club's management to significantly improve his contract, raising his salary to £300,000 per week, which is considered an astronomical figure that could disrupt the salary structure within the team.

According to the source, Isak currently earns around £120,000 per week, while the highest-paid player at Newcastle only receives £160,000, making the requested amount from the player (£300,000) far beyond the salary cap in place at the club.

The source indicated that Newcastle's management appears cautious in dealing with this request, due to the risks that may arise from breaking the wage system, which could impact negotiations for renewing his contract that ends in the summer of 2028.

It is worth mentioning that the Swedish striker was linked with a departure from the team this summer, amid interest from Liverpool and Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal in securing his services.
