Newcastle United have told Liverpool and Alexander Isak\u2019s representatives that a deal is now on after they secured a deal for\u00a0Nick Woltemade, according to reports.<\/p>\n
It had looked like a long shot for the Reds to sign Isak earlier in the summer after Newcastle took a strong stance against a sale following their qualification for the Champions League.<\/p>\n
The Magpies had very little need to sell the Sweden international and it is only since Isak started pushing for a move that Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> stepped up their efforts to sign the striker.<\/p>\n Liverpool submitted a bid of \u00a3110m earlier in the summer, which was immediately rejected by Newcastle, and the Reds took a step back to wait for further encouragement to pursue a deal.<\/p>\n In the meantime, Isak has been on strike in an attempt to force a move away from St James\u2019 Park with reports suggesting he has vowed to never play for Newcastle again<\/strong><\/a> as he looks to move to Liverpool.<\/p>\n Isak even went as far as calling out Newcastle in a statement earlier this month, insisting that \u201cwhen promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can\u2019t continue.\u201d<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Transfer rumour ranking: Woltemade to Newcastle and another crazy Bundesliga striker offer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Magpies hit back with a strong statement of their own<\/strong><\/a> but one report on Thursday insisted that Liverpool were now \u2018confident\u2019 of getting a deal for Isak over the line before the deadline<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n But now\u00a0journalist\u00a0Sacha Tavolieri has revealed that Liverpool are lining up a \u00a3130m bid after Newcastle told them that a deal is now on for Isak.<\/p>\n Tavolieri wrote on X<\/a>: \u2018Liverpool are expected to submit a \u00a3130M bid to Newcastle United in the coming hours.<\/p>\n \u2018NUFC, with Eddie Howe\u2019s approval, have informed both Isak\u2019s camp and the Reds\u2019 board that a deal could be reached now that a replacement, Nick Woltemade, has been secured.\u00a0#LFC.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> Harvey Elliott is one player who could still leave Anfield this summer but transfer journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that he will only go if Isak comes in.<\/p>\n
