LIVERPOOL will not lodge a second bid for Alexander Isak after their initial offer of £110million was rejected by Newcastle, which will hand Arsenal a massive boost going into the new Premier League season.
The Premier League champions were keen on landing the Swedish centre-forward despite splashing £69m on Hugo Ekitike, whom they beat Newcastle to the signing of last month.
It was yesterday widely reported that Newcastle have rejected Liverpool’s first official offer for Isak, as Arne Slot was open to signing the big man, but the Reds have now called time on negotiations as they dont want to pay over the odds for the big star.
The Premier League champions will not make a second bid for the Swede, with Ben Jacobs reporting that they consider the pursuit ‘futile’.
The nature of Newcastle’s rejection has led them to abandon their attempts to sign the player. The Magpies were known to be ‘desperate’ to keep hold of the player, who was open to the move.
IcFootballnews Says…
If Liverpool did manage to sign one of the best strikers around, a man that has already proven that he can score 20 goals in the Premier League, they would once again be firm favourites to win that title, the Reds have already made some brilliant signings this summer.
But there us still plenty of time for any potential move to happen, if the reports are not true and Liverpool will go back in, that attack next season will be even more dangerous than it is now.
But is Isak cant get a move to LIVERPOOL, where does he go now?
