Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who will not be allowed to leave for less than €200million, according to reports.
Isak had a superb 2023/24 campaign, scoring 21 goals in 30 Premier League appearances, picking up two assists as well.
The Magpies have unlimited funds at their disposal through their Saudi Arabian owner but financial rules have limited their spending, meaning they could potentially be open to selling a star player – like Isak – to help fund new signings.
Another player who could be sold to raise funds is midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who has been linked with more clubs than Isak.
