130 million euros is too high for him even though he performed well at Newcastle but for a club that buys a player at too high a price there is a risk of incurring losses because there is no guarantee that he will perform as well or adapt well in his first season.
With the price set by Newcastle, it is actually a rejection of any club that wants this player.
Alexander Isak scored 15 goals for Newcastle with 1 assist and at his young age his future is quite bright, especially if he can get a better club, but still 130 million euros is too high for him, unless the team that wants him is Chelsea who are always willing to pay high for the players he is targeting, and I am sure that with the price set by Newcastle, Tottenham are out of the hunt.
It is true that when a club sets such a high price for a player, it actually says that this player is not for sale, but if a buyer is found for such a high price and they will be able to make an appropriate replacement, for this money. On the other hand, I constantly see how prices for players are constantly rising, if earlier it was a wonder to hear the amount of 100 million, now it has become the norm for almost any top club.
Tottenham are not an ambitious club to spend large amounts of money, and I'm not sure they would pay that price. Unless you really insist on getting his signature, there are still options for players whose value is affordable and can have the same effect. It all comes back to the context of Spurs pursuit and demand. For Isak, whose price tag of 130 million is too much, he still doesn't have much experience at his age. Newcastle only took advantage of the situation when Isak performance was improving, but we'll see if Newcastle succeeds in improving the situation in the Premier League? I think it actually shows a decline compared to last season. And don't forget Joe Lewis is not the type of person who likes to waste money on one player.
