£150 million! Liverpool is scared away by Newcastle s sky-high price, and the Premier League transfer market has completely changed

Liverpool was really dismissed from the price this time. Newcastle firmly slapped the price of Isaac for 150 million pounds, and directly made the senior Red Army leaders choose to give up. Behind this seemingly ordinary transfer negotiation is the new rules of the Premier League transfer market - the top players nowadays can no longer be taken away by money.

Isaac wants to leave, it is no longer a secret. Absent from the preseason is the most direct signal, but Newcastle's attitude is more firm: either spend 150 million or not. More importantly, even if someone really pays this money, Newcastle has to find a replacement before it can be released. This tough posture is rare in mid-range teams in the past, but now things have changed. Newcastle is backed by Saudi capital. They are not short of money, but their achievements and influence. Let the core forward who has 23 goals in a season? Unless the price is so high that they can't refuse. Liverpool's withdrawal was not an accident. Fenway Group's business strategy has always been cautious. The risk of spending 150 million pounds on a striker with a history of injury is too great.

The failure of this negotiation has affected far more than two clubs. Liverpool must now turn to other targets, and prices of slightly reliable strikers in the market will rise. Although Newcastle has temporarily retained Isaac, if the player's mentality is affected, the performance in the new season may be greatly reduced. What is more worth thinking about is that the Premier League transfer market has entered a new stage today - the liquidity of top players is declining, small and medium-sized teams are no longer easily letting go, and wealthy families want to poach, either spend money at a sky-high price or give up completely. The future transfer market may become more and more like a deadlock in a capital game, and the players' wishes become the least important factor.
