John Arne Riise said he really wanted to see Alexander Isak joining Liverpool, but worried that The Kop did not meet the price that Newcastle asked.
Alexander Isak informed Newcastle about the desire to leave St James' Park this summer. Liverpool quickly entered, but the initial proposal was £ 110 million plus the surcharges were rejected by Choi.
Isak practiced alone with his former team Real Sociedad in Spain when Newcastle traveled in Asia, but now he has returned to gather with the Northeast team. Coach Eddie Howe hopes Isak will stay, but Liverpool is expected to make the next offer for the 25 -year -old striker in the near future.

John Arne Riise spoke up Liverpool to pursue Alexander Isak. |
Newcastle has identified RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko as a top goal if Isak completes the transfer to Anfield. John Arne Riise said he really wanted to see Alexander Isak joining Liverpool, but worried that The Kop did not meet the price that Newcastle asked. He said:
“It is the topic of discussion throughout the summer. One day you think Liverpool has no chance to sign a contract with him, but on another day, the opportunity to open again with The Kop. Interestingly, his ability to move, he is agile, he finishes great, he desires to express himself.
This will be a great contract for Liverpool, but now it seems difficult because they have rejected many offers. Newcastle will be very difficult to convince. They are not in the situation forced to sell Isak. I knew he wanted to leave, but I was worried that Liverpool could not meet the money that Newcastle asked. ”
