Real Sociedad to receive cash boost if Newcastle United sell Alexander Isak

Ankit Kunwar ,

Real Sociedad are all set to receive a decent chunk of sale percentage if Newcastle United sell Alexander Isak this summer.

The Magpies parted ways with a club record €70m to sign Isak from La Real in August 2022. The Swedish hitman had an incredible 2023-24 season, scoring 21 goals in the Premier League, which was the third highest among top scorers.

However, due to pressures over financial fair play rules, Newcastle could be forced to sell players in the coming weeks, with Isak linked to Chelsea. However, the Daily Mail report that Chelsea are reluctant to break their own club transfer record and Newcastle will demand around €136 million for the player.

If the above deal goes through, Real Sociedad will receive a windfall of €6.6m, due to a 10% capital gains clause inserted in their transfer agreement with Newcastle for Isak.
