The fee Liverpool are \u2018prepared to pay\u2019 for Alexander Isak has been revealed, with club chiefs having two concerns about this proposed transfer.<\/p>\n
Isak<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s situation has been in doubt for most of this summer, although a resolution is expected in the coming days, as we are in the final week of the transfer window.<\/p>\n The world-class striker missed Newcastle United\u2019s pre-season tour of Asia and has trained alone in recent weeks, as he has lobbied for a move to Premier League rivals Liverpool<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Isak will have hoped that his stance would weaken Newcastle\u2019s negotiating power, though the Magpies have remained bullish on their reported \u00a3150m asking price and are still keen to keep their prized asset.<\/p>\n It has been suggested that an offer in the region of \u00a3150m is required to land Isak, while Newcastle also want to secure a suitable replacement before sanctioning his sale.<\/p>\n So far, Liverpool have offered around \u00a3110m plus \u00a310m in add-ons for dream target Isak, and they remain interested in the striker even after landing in-form Hugo Ekitike for \u00a380m.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a016 Conclusions on Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool: Ngumoha, Osula, Ekitike, Konate and Isak<\/a> It has also been claimed that Liverpool are ready to increase their offer if\/when Newcastle open the door, but they are hoping to keep Isak and a private \u2018meeting\u2019 was held between him and a \u2018PIF delegation\u2019 before Monday\u2019s game between the two sides.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n It remains to be seen whether this meeting will prove to be successful, but journalist Ben Jacobs provided a concrete update on Isak\u2019s situation after Liverpool\u2019s dramatic 3-2 victory against 10-man Newcastle at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n Jacobs confirms that Liverpool \u2018won\u2019t bid again without encouragement\u2019, with it noted that this \u2018can now be defined this late in the window as a viable pathway to a deal rather than just an invitation to bid again\u2019.<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, \u2018nothing was expected to happen\u2019 before Monday\u2019s match, while Jacobs has also revealed Liverpool\u2019s stance on their first bid and what they are willing to offer amid two concerns.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Jacobs said on X: \u201cLiverpool don\u2019t view their first \u00a3110m offer as \u2018lowballing\u2019 Newcastle. The entire bid was a fixed fee, and was a British record in that category. It was rejected quickly and emphatically. Liverpool have stuck to their \u2018no new bid\u2019 stance since.<\/p>\n \u201c#LFC prepared to pay around \u00a3120m if they bid again. Never directly quoted \u00a3150m, and no expectation that number will be met, or close. Liverpool believe doing so would distort the market and weaken their position for future deals.\u201d<\/p>\n Jacobs has also revealed an update on Newcastle\u2019s search for a replacement, while they face an \u201cuntenable\u201d Isak situation.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cNewcastle continue to seek strikers, but sources say Yoane Wissa or J\u00f8rgen Stand Larsen are Callum Wilson replacements. Several other targets explored.<\/p>\n \u201cNewcastle have felt for much of the summer that Isak staying without signing a new deal is untenable. Still prepared to offer one if he decides to reintegrate.<\/p>\n \u201cYasir Al-Rumayyan is in Newcastle and will make the final decision.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fee Liverpool are \u2018prepared to pay\u2019 for Alexander Isak has been revealed, with club chiefs having two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[9261,748,393,4884,225,179,3047,12,101,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-374353","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-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-home-page","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-newcastle-united","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-premier-league","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115093875352152082","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374353","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=374353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
