Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has dropped a cryptic update on Alexander Isak<\/a>‘s future, amid ongoing transfer interest from Liverpool<\/a>. The Reds had an initial \u00a3110million bid for the Sweden international turned down this summer – and have yet to go back in with a follow-up approach.<\/p>\n Speculation around Isak continues to spiral after he broke silence on the saga this month<\/a>. In that statement, he underlined his desire to leave St James’ Park before September 1.<\/p>\n Naturally, that has been THE big topic at Anfield<\/a>, St James’ Park and beyond with Howe sharing a brief update on Isak during his post-match press conference after tonight’s Premier League<\/a> game with Leeds.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool have three days to justify \u00a395m decisions as transfer deadline looms<\/a>READ MORE: Arne Slot confirms new Liverpool vice-captain and makes training ground revelation<\/a><\/p>\n He said: “I don’t know, I’m not party to any talks going on.<\/p>\n “I’ve been preparing for this game and you can imagine that’s demanding enough.<\/p>\n “So I will find out like everyone else.”<\/p>\n This week, it was reported that – prior to Liverpool’s dramatic 3-2 win at St James’ Park over Newcastle – co-owner Jamie Reuben and a representative of their majority shareholders, Saudi Arabia’s Private Investment Fund, met with Isak and his entourage in a bid to build bridges, in order to reintegrate him back into the side.<\/p>\n However, it emerged that Isak doubled down on his unhappiness at the club and continued his demand to make a dream move to Liverpool.<\/p>\n Liverpool have, meanwhile, reportedly launched an opening offer for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi<\/a>.<\/p>\n No response from the south Londoners has been forthcoming, but it could be a hectic final 48 hours or so for both Liverpool and their rivals this summer – with the window closing at 7pm on Monday.<\/p>\n Follow transfer deadline day live with the ECHO<\/p>\n Transfer deadline day is almost upon us and Liverpool still have business to do. It’s already been a busy summer for the Premier League champions but they could still pull off a couple of blockbuster signings as the window comes to a close.<\/p>\n Alexander Isak’s future remains unresolved, with the striker refusing to play or train for Newcastle United. Liverpool remain interested in a deal for the Swede.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Marc Guehi has been a player of interest all summer and Liverpool could still launch a last-minute deal for the Crystal Palace defender.<\/p>\n You can keep up-to-date with all the latest transfer news and receive updates directly to your phone by subscribing to our LFC newsletters or joining our WhatsApp community below:<\/p>\n You can also follow LivEchoLFC on X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook, or listen to our podcasts on Spotify or YouTube by searching for Blood Red.<\/p>\n For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/liverpool-fc<\/a>.
