Liverpool announced that he would not make the next offer to ask the Alexander Isak striker after the price of about £ 110 million was rejected by Newcastle bluntly.
According to the Telegraph Sport, Newcastle is currently very optimistic about the ability to retain Isak and is trying to find a compromise solution with the Swedish striker – who has publicly wishing to leave in the summer of 2025.
Newcastle valued Isak at £ 150 million and confirmed that they would not be forced to sell if they had not found a reasonable alternative. This tough attitude caused the Northeast team with many mixed opinions, in the context of Isak's distraction and missed the trip before the season in Singapore and South Korea. This greatly affects the club's preparation process in the new season 2025/26.
The source said Liverpool initially said that they were willing to spend about £ 120 million for Isak, but then sent the official offer worth £ 110 million. Newcastle immediately shook his head. It is not clear that in the remaining time of the summer transfer period 2025, will Liverpool raise the price to buy Isak or not.
Currently, the team of coach Arne Slot has spent nearly £ 270 million for recruits, including the £ 116 million deal for Florian Wirtz – a record fee in the UK. If the cost has been spent from last year to sign with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, nearly £ 300 million will increase the total spending to more than £ 400 million if the ISAK deal is completed – surpassing the record 405 million pounds of Chelsea in 2023. Liverpool will need to do a lot to own Isak without having trouble with financial justice law.
To prepare for all cases, Newcastle approached Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig as a potential alternative to Isak. However, Man Utd is the dominant team in the race to win the Slovenian striker.
Phias Newcastle will try their best to own Sesko. In addition, Newcastle is interested in other options such as Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Younge Wissa (Brentford), Rodrigo Muniz (Fulham) and Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea). Of these, Aston Villa confirmed that it did not sell Watkins this summer and Brentford was also quite “hard” because they did not want to lose more Wissa after leaving MBEumo to MU.
