Liverpool have been offered a brilliant chance to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak.
Liverpool are expected to make a second bid for Isak, who remains keen to leave Newcastle United.
The Reds have not returned to the table since they had an offer rejected at the start of August, which was believed to have been worth £110million.
However, it seems likely that the Premier League champions will make their move before Monday’s deadline passes.
Indeed, they’ve been offered a brilliant chance after a remarkable turn of events on Sunday.

Newcastle United would sell Alexander Isak for £130million
All summer, there have been suggestions that Newcastle value Isak at £150million.
However, according to The Daily Telegraph, PIF could cash in on the wantaway Sweden international.
The report suggests that the Newcastle United owners would now be prepared to accept £130million for the 25-year-old.

Worryingly for supporters, the Telegraph also state that Newcastle wouldn’t necessarily have to sign another striker in order to sell Isak.
PIF risk major embarrassment at Newcastle United
Selling Isak makes sense, sadly. He clearly does not want to play for the club anymore and the idea of reintegrating him into the Newcastle United squad seems remote at this stage.
Isak is still confident his move to Liverpool will go through and, seemingly, for good reason.
To sell Isak for below the initial asking price without signing another striker who actually increases the numbers in Eddie Howe’s squad feels like Newcastle have conceded.
They’re making it easier and easier for Liverpool to sign arguably the best striker in the world. The Reds appear to have done a number on Newcastle, who could go into the rest of the season with only the relatively untested Nick Woltemade as their central striker.
