Newcastle has just rejected an offer worth more than £ 100 million from Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak, in the context of the future of the Swedish star being skeptical.
Newcastle refused Liverpool's terrible offer to Alexander Isak
Although the price that Liverpool offers is said to reach the threshold of £ 100 million, it is not enough to make Newcastle fall. Alexander Isak “pricing” is up to £ 150 million and has no intention of selling his No. 1 striker.
Currently, Isak is practicing separately at his old training center at Real Sociedad, where he used to play before moving to England. The Newcastle side clearly identified the schedule and recovery of the 25 -year -old striker, who was having a minor injury in his thigh, the reason he could not participate in the trip to Singapore with the whole team.

However, besides the health issue, a larger question is smoldering: Isak informed Newcastle's leadership that he wanted to consider transfer options this summer. Earlier, Liverpool had an informal approach to him, and now returns to the negotiation table with a real offer.
Notably, Liverpool recruited Hugo Ekitike in July, a young talent once in the sight of Newcastle himself. However, the “red brigade” has not stopped. Coach Arne Slot confirmed that the port city team will not miss any opportunities on the transfer market.
“I always say that if Liverpool sees the opportunity, we will not hesitate. The key is still quality, and I believe we have really good contracts.”Slot shared.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is experiencing a volatile summer. Despite winning the right to return to the Champions League, they repeatedly missed the transfer goals and lost the last 3 friendly matches, an ideal preparation for the new season. In the middle of a dull crisis, Isak's retention is becoming a vital problem with the St. James' Park.
