Newcastle United could part ways with Eddie Howe following what has been a poor start to the season for the club. .
Liverpool have made a formal approach to sign Alexander Isak, but Newcastle United have no intentions of negotiating his departure.
According to David Ornstein, Liverpool have enquired about the availability of Newcastle United attacking mainstay Alexander Isak. They have made their interest in signing the Swedish international in a deal worth around £120 million known to the Magpies, even though they are aware that Eddie Howe’s team have no intentions of selling.
Isak has only gone from strength to strength since joining the Tyneside club in the summer of 2022 from Real Sociedad. Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but he is also widely regarded as one of the best strikers in Europe.
His consistent performances for Newcastle have put him on the radar of multiple top clubs from across Europe. While he still has three years left on his deal, there has been no shortage of clubs that want to lure him away.
Liverpool are still trying to sign Isak
Liverpool are one of the clubs that have a long-standing interest in him. With Diogo Jota’s tragic loss and Darwin Nunez’s uncertain future, signing a new striker has become a top priority for the Merseyside club.
While Arne Slot did guide them to the Premier League title in his first season in charge, he wasn’t pleased with the output of his strikers. He wants a proven goal scorer up top, and the Reds are working hard to ensure his demands are met.
Isak has been their priority target for some time. While they are aware that Newcastle have no intentions of selling him and have been working on a new long-term deal, the Merseyside club have tried their luck.
They recently made a formal approach to Newcastle. While they haven’t tabled an offer just yet, they have enquired about his availability and have made it known that they are willing to fork out a massive £120 million to bring him to Anfield.
Despite the massive fee on offer, Eddie Howe’s team are unlikely to let him leave unless the player ends up pushing for a move. As a result, Liverpool might have to focus on other alternatives.
