Negotiations on personal terms have been significant in recent days, with growing confidence that there is satisfaction regarding where Isak ranks within the hierarchy.
He is not earning elite wages at Newcastle United, and this is one of the factors Liverpool have managed to make progress.
Reports suggest he is aiming to compete at the very top of Liverpool’s pay scale - indicating a substantial salary increase is likely if he finalizes his anticipated move to Anfield.
In line with achieving a British transfer record fee, Isak’s agents have pushed for him to be acknowledged as such within the squad.
Top earner Mohamed Salah earns nearly £400,000 a week, while Virgil Van Dijk follows closely with over £350,000 a week.
Isak’s position should be mirrored by securing a contract close to the terms of these two star players, with discussions believed to have centered around a figure of £250,000-300,000 a week, depending on bonuses.

This would place him ahead of recent acquisitions Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, who are estimated to earn around £200,000 a week. However, Isak is already a proven star in the Premier League.
At Newcastle, he has faced frustration due to the club’s unwillingness to acknowledge his value.
They have described him as one of the leading strikers globally, yet his current contract is approximately £110,000 a week.
It appears that Isak could potentially see an increase of over 150 percent to facilitate his transfer to the Premier League champions.
More specific details regarding Isak’s terms are anticipated to surface shortly, as Liverpool also strategize a transfer fee around £125 million to acquire him from Newcastle before the new season begins.
