Newcastle Rejects £110m Liverpool Bid for Isak

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe confirmed that the club rejected a £110 million bid from Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak, insisting they want to keep him despite Isak's desire to join Liverpool. Howe called the situation 'complex' and reaffirmed Newcastle's support for Isak, who is currently training separately at Real Sociedad. The club has set a £150 million valuation for Isak and is reportedly unwilling to negotiate further. Liverpool are unlikely to increase their bid. Teammate Anthony Gordon, who nearly moved to Liverpool last summer, publicly sympathized with Isak and reflected on the mental strain such transfer sagas cause. Gordon's comments highlight the emotional and professional challenges faced by players amid high-profile transfer speculation.
