Liverpool does not plan to submit a new offer for Alexander Isak, following Newcastle United's rejection of the club's initial proposal for the striker.
Earlier on Friday, Arne Slot's side had offered up to £110m (45m), which remains below Newcastle's £150m (97m) valuation of the player. However, a source indicated that the nature of Newcastle's refusal was such that Liverpool feel it would be futile to submit a second offer at this stage. However, this situation could change if the Tyneside club finds a suitable replacement in the transfer market and expresses a desire to part ways with Isak this summer.
The Swedish international will not be part of Newcastle's Asian tour, with the club announcing he is suffering from a "slight thigh injury." He is heading to the training centre of his former club, Real Sociedad, with palpable determination. Luis Díaz's £65.5 million transfer to Bayern Munich could pave the way for funding for a potential deal. Il s’achemine vers le centre d’entraînement de son ancien club, la Real Sociedad, avec une détermination palpable. Le transfert de Luis Díaz pour une somme de 76 millions d’euros au Bayern Munich pourrait ouvrir la voie à un financement pour un éventuel accord.
Newcastle est résolument engagé à garder son attaquant vedette. Newcastle is resolutely committed to keeping its star striker. He was unable to make last weekend's game against Arsenal in Singapore, nor the meeting with a K-League team. He will be absent from the field against Tottenham Hotspur in South Korea this Sunday. Il sera absent sur le terrain contre les Tottenham Hotspur en Corée du Sud ce dimanche.
Isak has established himself as one of the Premier League's most formidable strikers since joining Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022. He scored 23 goals in 34 games in the last Premier League season, placing him just behind Mohamed Salah's 29 goals in the Golden Boot race. Il a marqué 23 buts en 34 matchs lors de la dernière saison de Premier League, se positionnant juste derrière les 29 réalisations de Mohamed Salah dans la course au Soulier d’or.
Isak's crucial goal against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final in March gave Newcastle their first national trophy in 70 years.
