JAKARTA - Alexander Isak became one of the hottest chases in this summer's transfer market.
After Liverpool and Arsenal, who yesterday showed seriousness in recruiting the Swedish striker, this offer came from the Saudi Arabian Pro League.
ESPN reported Al Hilal would explore an agreement with Newcastle United. The Saudi Arabia Pro League team has gathered information on the details of the finances that will be involved in any potential deal.
Isak has been discussed internally at Al Hilal with head coach Simone Inzaghi, but there has been no official contact with Newcastle.

There is no indication yet whether Isak will be interested in moving to Saudi Arabia or not.
However, Inzaghi supports Isak's move despite the assumption that getting the 25-year-old out of Europe would be difficult.
Meanwhile, Isak was not included in Newcastle's friendly match against Celtic on Saturday, July 19, 2025.
Manager Eddie Howe said he could not guarantee that Isak would remain at the club at the end of the transfer market.
"I think it's difficult for me to provide 100 percent clarity about any player."
"I will never sit here and do that because it's football. We never know what could happen."
"However, Alex is happy at Newcastle. He loves the players who play with him, the staff, the team. I've never had a problem with him," Howe said.
Al Hilal wants to recruit strikers this summer. They have made a substantial offer to Victor Osimhen before the 2025 Club World Cup.
However, the Nigerian striker has almost moved permanently to Galatasaray after spending last season on loan at the Turkish club from Napoli.
