Alexander Isak, a target for Liverpool, has been spotted arriving at Newcastle<\/a>‘s training ground after being instructed to train separately from the first team, with Liverpool<\/a>‘s recent sales potentially providing funds for a renewed bid for the Swedish striker.<\/p>\n

Isak has expressed his desire to leave St James’ Park, with Anfield emerging as a probable destination. The forward was absent from the club’s pre-season tour in Asia, and manager Eddie Howe has adopted a strict approach regarding his behaviour.<\/p>\n

The player has been excluded from first-team training and was told to arrive later in the afternoon after his teammates had departed, which he complied with amidst the swirling rumours about his future.<\/p>\n

Isak’s unauthorised visit to his old club Real Sociedad’s training facilities only came to light for Howe through the press. Howe’s frustration was palpable when he remarked: “The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad and you have to act in the right way. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal.”<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a>‘s initial \u00a3120 million bid for Isak was rejected by Newcastle<\/a>, who have set a valuation of \u00a3150 million on him. For the transfer to proceed, Newcastle<\/a> would need to reduce their asking price or Liverpool<\/a> would have to break the British transfer record for the second time in a single summer.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot<\/a> has made a splash in the transfer market, splurging over \u00a3200 million with Florian Wirtz as his standout acquisition. Hugo Ekitike has been brought in to lead the line, yet Alexander Isak remains a target to bolster an attack that already boasts Mohamed Salah<\/a> and Cody Gakpo.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a>‘s recent departures could pave the way for a swoop for Isak while keeping the club well within PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Regulations) guidelines. Luis Diaz bid farewell to Anfield, moving to Bayern Munich for a hefty \u00a365.5 million fee.<\/p>\n

Darwin Nunez is tipped to be the next big name to leave, with Al-Hilal showing readiness to fork out \u00a350 million for the Uruguayan forward who has seen his role diminish under Slot.<\/p>\n

Harvey Elliott, too, might be on the move after confessing the need to make a “selfish” decision regarding his future, especially after shining at the U21 Euros. A potential switch to RB Leipzig could net Liverpool<\/a> another \u00a350 million.<\/p>\n

In just a fortnight, the Reds could amass upwards of \u00a3150 million from player sales alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexander Isak, a target for Liverpool, has been spotted arriving at Newcastle‘s training ground after being instructed to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324684,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[9261,748,814,393,4884,179,763,56996,3047,11492,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-324683","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-alexander-isak","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-eddie-howe","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-liverpool-fc","15":"tag-liverpool-transfer","16":"tag-newcastle-united","17":"tag-newcastle-united-fc","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114986476082311232","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
