Isak<\/a>, for his part, is adamant that his time at St James\u2019 Park is over \u2013 with his focus firmly on making the move to Anfield.<\/p>\n For that to happen, Liverpool<\/a> must come back with an improved proposal. There is a growing belief that moment is fast approaching.<\/p>\n Reports of a \u00a3150m price tag have circulated, but the Reds have valued Isak lower that.<\/p>\n Sources close to the situation suggest a more realistic figure would be in the bracket of \u00a3120m-\u00a3130m.<\/p>\n Newcastle are beginning to expect another approach in the next week and accept that if Liverpool are serious, they will soon test the waters again ahead of the deadline.<\/p>\n What seems certain is that the negotiations will not be straightforward.<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS \u27a1\ufe0f\u00a0Premier League signings of the season power ranking: Top 10 highest-rated revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u27a1\ufe0f Liverpool loan watch: How every player is faring in 2025\/26 away from Anfield<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Liverpool need to meet \u2018two\u2019 Newcastle \u2018conditions\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, a Sky Sports reporter has revealed the \u201ctwo conditions\u201d that must be met before Newcastle begrudgingly sell Isak to Liverpool.<\/p>\n isak released a statement on social media on Tuesday night to put forward his version of events in the summer\u2019s biggest transfer saga. Part of the Newcastle striker\u2019s statement read: \u201cThe reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can\u2019t continue. That\u2019s where things are for me right now \u2013 and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Newcastle quickly responded with a statement of their own, with the most newsworthy aspect being the club strongly suggesting they do not believe a sale is in their best interests.<\/p>\n \u201cAs explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not foresee those conditions being met.\u201d<\/p>\n Precisely what those \u2018conditions\u2019 are that would free up Isak to join Liverpool in the final fortnight of the window have now been revealed.<\/p>\n Sky Sports reporter, Keith Downie \u2013 who specialises in covering Newcastle \u2013 stated: \u201cNewcastle talked last night about the conditions of a sale. There were two conditions.<\/p>\n \u201cOne, the valuation of the player is \u00a3150m. That is what Newcastle\u2019s valuation is.<\/p>\n \u201cI still think they would probably do a deal for a little bit less than that. But I think Liverpool\u2019s \u00a3110m offer that landed a few weeks ago is way short. So if Liverpool were to really seriously want Isak, they would have to come to the table with a higher bid.<\/p>\n \u201cThe second is that Newcastle need to find a replacement. They tried on Benjamin Sesko, they tried on Hugo Ekitike, failed on both of those.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re actually even struggling right now, as we can see, to bring in a replacement for Callum Wilson, who left on a free contract.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been telling you for weeks now that they\u2019ve been trying to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford. But he\u2019s seen as the Callum Wilson replacement rather than the Alexander Isak replacement.<\/p>\n \u201cSo they can\u2019t even get the second striker in, if you like.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they were able to land Wissa in the next few days \u2013 and I am expecting a bid in the next couple of days \u2013 and Liverpool came to the table offering \u00a3130m then Newcastle might have a decision to make.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, it would leave them very light on striker reinforcements.\u201d<\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news: Isak teammate takes shot \/ Huge transfer ON<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Top Newcastle star takes CLEAR SHOT at Isak over Liverpool move antics<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Liverpool transfer ON as agents fly in for \u2018talks\u2019 over eye-watering deal<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
