According to reports, Alexander Isak and his team have given a clear response to being ‘exiled’ by Newcastle United, while a replacement ‘wants to join’. Isak is in limbo at the moment as he has been made to train alone after making it clear to Newcastle chiefs that he wants to leave this summer.

Liverpool 's initial £120 million bid for Isak was rejected by Newcastle, who have set a valuation of £150 million on him. For the transfer to proceed, Newcastle would need to reduce their asking price or Liverpool would have to break the British transfer record for the second time in a single summer.

Newcastle have rejected a formal £110million offer from Liverpool for centre-forward Alexander Isak. Isak wants to leave Newcastle this summer and has been training at his former club, Real Sociedad, while Eddie Howe’s squad are in South Korea as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.
