Liverpool has reportedly submitted an impressive opening bid of £120 million, including potential add-ons, for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak which has been rejected by Newcastle United.
This news was confirmed by renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his X handle on Friday.
Despite the substantial offer, Newcastle United has firmly rejected Liverpool’s bid, saying they were not prepared to entertain any negotiations for Isak until after securing a replacement, thereby leaving the situation in a state of uncertainty.
Sources indicate that Isak, who has expressed a strong desire to make the move to Liverpool, remains hopeful of a transfer, but Newcastle’s position has complicated the matter.
The Magpies are committed to finding a suitable striker before considering letting go of their talented forward.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Newcastle’s next steps and whether they can swiftly identify a replacement for Isak to potentially paving the way for Liverpool’s ambitions to secure the Swedish international’s signature.
