Liverpool Nears £130m Alexander Isak Transfer From Newcastle

Liverpool is determined to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak before the summer transfer deadline, with the club reportedly sanctioning a British record £130 million bid. Newcastle, however, remains firm in its £150 million valuation, having already rejected an earlier £110 million offer, and insists it will not sell Isak without securing reinforcements, including potential targets like Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen and Brentford's Yoane Wissa. Isak has publicly expressed frustration with Newcastle over 'broken promises' and appears unsettled, leading experts like Jermaine Pennant to believe he will not perform at his previous level if retained and that a transfer is inevitable, albeit likely on deadline day after Liverpool faces Newcastle in the Premier League. Liverpool currently has no plans to increase their offer unless Newcastle shows signs of lowering their asking price, while the Magpies' stance may have hardened following Isak's Instagram statement. The transfer saga remains tense and unresolved, with both clubs maneuvering strategically as the deadline approaches.
