Newcastle has increasingly disappointed Liverpool as the transfer deal of striker Alexander Isak has not made any progress.
The Magpies have yet to receive any offers for a transfer to their main striker. Isak has clearly expressed his desire to leave St. James' Park in the context of the reigning Premier League champions receiving special attention.
The Swedish star was not named in coach Eddie Howe's squad for the tour in Asia, although the club said the reason was due to a thigh injury.
However, according to sources, Isak is currently in Spain, training alone at the training center of his former team Real Sociedad, while waiting for his future to be decided.
Liverpool are one of the few clubs with enough financial potential to meet the £120 million price offered by Newcastle. Isak's current salary is around £120,000 a week.
However, according to British media, there have been no official proposals sent. This made Newcastle feel dissatisfied.
The "Red Brigade" overcame Newcastle to recruit striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. However, if Isak remains determined to leave, Eddie Howe's side may have no choice but to sit at the table negotiating with The Kop.
The squad of coach Arne Slot has been significantly enhanced with a series of contracts with a total value of nearly 300 million pounds in this summer's transfer window. However, experts predict that there will be many names saying goodbye to Anfield before Liverpool officially sent a buy-up proposal for Isak.
Luis Diaz officially left Liverpool this week to join Bayern Munich under a £65 million contract, following Jarrell Quansah and goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher - who have also left Anfield.
However, Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa are being linked with a move in the summer of 2025, as part of the club's financial balance plan following large spending.
On the other hand, Newcastle continued to chase Yoane Wissa - Brentford's attacking star. This shows that Eddie Howe's side have prepared for the prospect of losing Isak in the squad.
However, Brentford did not want to let any more strikers leave, especially after seeing Bryan Mbeumo move to Manchester United for £65 million.
