Liverpool temporarily put aside the plan to recruit Alexander Isak after the first offer worth £ 110 million was bluntly rejected by Newcastle. According to ESPN, the tough feedback from the Tyeside team led Liverpool to believe that a second proposal at this time would be just a cup.

However, that view may change if Newcastle finds a worthy replacement in the transfer market and is ready to pave the way for Alexander Isak to leave this summer.
The Swedish striker is currently absent on Newcastle's Asian tour on the grounds that the club is a slight injury in his thigh. However, Isak's recovery at Real Sociedad's former training center raises doubts about his future.

ESPN had previously revealed that Liverpool was very interested in Isak, despite the fact that they had recruited Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fee of up to £ 79 million. Luis Diaz's preparation to join Bayern Munich for £ 65.5 million can open the opportunity for The Kop to pump more budgets for the Isak deal.
Even so, Newcastle still maintains its stance: they do not want to sell their number one striker.
Isak has missed the last two matches against Arsenal in Singapore and K-League All Stars. He will also not play in the match against Tottenham on Sunday in Korea.
Since landing Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, Isak has quickly confirmed the name in the Premier League. Last season, he scored 23 goals in 34 matches, only behind Mohamed Salah in the race of the golden shoe.
Most memorable, it was Isak's goal against Liverpool at the Carabao Cup final in March that brought the first domestic title after 70 years of waiting for Newcastle. A clear evidence for the value of the 25 -year -old striker that “injecting” is resolutely retaining at all costs.
