Liverpool are set to go back in for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, having been unsuccessful in their attempts so far.
Liverpool have not admitted defeat in their pursuit of Alexander Isak and have sanctioned a club-record offer, reports claim.
The Newcastle United striker is Liverpool's top target but the Magpies have resisted the advances of the Premier League champions, even with their talisman not training, refusing to play and wanting out.
Liverpool had a £110 million bid rejected for Isak and Newcastle have regularly communicated that he is not for sale,.
But the saga is not yet complete, with The Sun claiming they remained confident Newcastle will finally budge and sell the Swede for a British-record £130 million.
After drawing 0-0 in their Premier League opener against Aston Villa, Newcastle host Liverpool at St James' Park in what is sure to be a tasty first home game of the season given the situation.

There will likely be plenty of chats about Isak, whose name was sung in negative terms by the travelling faithful on Saturday lunchtime.
However, it's said that there will no be official approach until after the game takes place on Monday.
Liverpool still want Isak and Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, who is out of contract next summer.
Having seen Ibrahima Konate's shaky display against Bournemouth the Reds are prepared to pay £35 million for the England defender and a double swoop for Guehi and Isak would take their summer spending to a whopping £466 million.
