The 24-year-old Isak joined Newcastle United from Real Sociedad last summer. He has participated in 36 matches in all competitions this season, scoring 23 goals and providing one assist. The Swede's contract with the club runs until the summer of 2028. Transfermarkt values the striker at 70 million euros.
In late 2023, Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined AC Milan's board of directors.
