Liverpool Ends Pursuit of Isak; Newcastle Eyes Disasi

Liverpool have withdrawn from their pursuit of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak after their £110m bid was rejected, with Newcastle maintaining a £150m valuation and refusing to sell without a replacement. Isak, who has verbally agreed personal terms with Liverpool and wishes to leave, is currently training at his former club Real Sociedad, away from Newcastle's first team. Manchester United made an enquiry for Isak, but he reportedly remains interested only in a move to Liverpool. Newcastle are now considering alternative striker options and are targeting Chelsea defender Axel Disasi to strengthen their squad. Liverpool, having spent heavily on other recruits, are unlikely to make an improved offer unless Newcastle changes its stance. Isak's future remains uncertain, with Newcastle indicating he could return to the squad if no suitable transfer occurs.
