Newcastle United Rejects Liverpool £110m Isak Bid Amid Transfer Uncertainty

Liverpool has made a formal bid for Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak, reportedly between £110 million and £130 million, but Newcastle has firmly rejected the offer, valuing the player at around £150 million and insisting he is not for sale this summer. Despite Newcastle’s stance, Isak, who is currently training alone at Real Sociedad due to a minor thigh injury and omitted from Newcastle’s preseason tour, has expressed a strong desire to leave the club. Newcastle has offered Isak a new contract with a release clause for 2026, but the striker remains determined to move on, fueling speculation about the transfer. Liverpool, having already spent heavily this summer and secured other key signings, are keen to bolster their attacking options and are reportedly prepared to continue negotiations. Meanwhile, Newcastle is preparing for the possibility of losing Isak by identifying replacements such as RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, who is also a target for Manchester United. This transfer saga highlights the tension between Isak’s ambitions, Liverpool’s pursuit, and Newcastle’s efforts to retain their star player amid Champions League qualification ambitions.
