Exclusive: Newcastle set to hand 24-year-old star striker new contract as Dan Ashworth clause emerges in current deal.

With four years remaining on his current contract, Alexander Isak is not among the top paid individuals. TBR can confirm that Isak, like his teammates, will likely face further wage reductions.

According to sources who spoke with TBR, Dan Ashworth, the former sports director who is presently on gardening leave from Newcastle in preparation for a move to Manchester United, mentioned a condition that would have resulted in wage reductions for all employees should the team miss out on Champions League qualification.

Newcastle ready to open contract talks with Alexander Isak

Now that it has happened, Newcastle’s players might lose up to 20% of their pay, which would be devastating for Isak, who had a tremendous season for The Magpies.

Newcastle is now prepared to give Isak a pay raise, bringing him up to speed with Bruno Guimaraes as the team’s highest earner.

A number of European teams have taken notice of Isak due to his performance, and TBR sources have verified that Arsenal has been a fan of the Swedish player ever since he left Borussia Dortmund.

A perfect way for Magpies to kick off their summer plans

If Newcastle could get Isak to sign a new deal anytime soon, that would make a huge statement. Eddie Howe has stated that Isak has the makings of a great football player.

Considering his troubles with Borussia Dortmund and his relatively quiet last season with Real Sociedad, his record throughout his time on Tyneside is outstanding.

Newcastle would undoubtedly anticipate receiving a large payment if they were to sell Isak. However, considering how well he has adapted to St. James’ Park over the past 18 months and how much he still has to grow, replacing him would still be very challenging.

It would certainly be a fantastic start to their summer if they could kick it off by announcing that Isak has committed what could be the best years of his career to the Magpies.
