When Liverpool shelled out £125 million for Alexander Isak on September 1, it broke the British transfer record. Three and a half months later, the club is still waiting for the return on that investment.
Isak has scored just 2 goals in 15 appearances since arriving from Newcastle United. For context, that works out to roughly £62.5 million per goal.
The transfer saga and its aftermath
Liverpool’s pursuit of Isak was anything but smooth. The club’s initial offer of £110 million was rejected by Newcastle in early August, kicking off weeks of tension between two of England’s biggest clubs.
During the standoff, Isak didn’t train or play for Newcastle.
