As the summer transfer window is about to draw to a close, all the powerful clubs have been caught up in the battle of grabbing people, especially the English Premier League, which is regarded as the top of the world soccer, has also ushered in the final frenzy. Newcastle, after being acquired by a capitalist predator last season, is determined to hit the top four in the league this season.
Newcastle, who have the honor of winning the Quadruple Crown, spared no expense in signing La Liga star Isaac, a potential striker who has made a small name for himself in recent years, for 70 million euros. Although Real Madrid and Barcelona were both interested in taking him under their wings, they were unable to do so due to Real Sociedad's high-priced offer. However, Newcastle's high price for Isaac, who has scored 10 goals in only 41 games, seems to be more than worth it. After all, the previous experience of the Premier League test Jesus is also worth only 40 million euros.
Isaac has yet to be rigorously tested and his stats aren't exactly dazzling, so bringing him in at €70 million is indeed a bit risky. But as a newly-promoted tycoon team, Newcastle can only choose to pay a premium for reinforcements. Isaac's physical condition is relatively weak, whether he can get a foothold in the fierce confrontation of the Premier League, and whether he can achieve the goal target in his first season, are the focus of attention of the fans.
Newcastle would have been close to Neymar during the summer window, but given his form and professional attitude, they did not undercut him. And this season, Neymar scored five goals and delivered six assists in three games in Ligue 1, an eye-catching performance. In comparison, signing Isaac for 70 million euros may not be as cost-effective as bringing in Neymar at a low price at the time.
