Newcastle Rejects Liverpool’s Initial Offer for Alexander Isak
The Magpies have firmly declined Liverpool’s opening proposal for the talented forward Alexander Isak, valued at £120 million. According to recent insights from The Daily Mail, this amount doesn’t come close to Newcastle’s £150 million price tag. Even though Isak shows interest in departing, the club insists on dictating the terms of any potential deal.
Isak’s Current Situation and Training Developments
At 25 years old, the Swedish international has skipped Newcastle’s pre-season activities in Asia, attributing it to a thigh issue while preparing at Real Sociedad. The team hasn’t refuted claims of his absence without leave, and insiders indicate he’s actively seeking a transfer. Liverpool put forward about £120 million initially, yet Newcastle holds out for no less than £150 million to release him.
Newcastle Eyes Replacements Amid Alexander Isak Transfer Talks
Reports from The Daily Mail indicate that Newcastle is eyeing 阿斯頓維拉‘s Ollie Watkins as a prime candidate to fill Isak’s shoes. They’ve compiled a list of alternatives, featuring players like Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen. Although RB萊比錫‘s Benjamin Sesko was initially their preferred choice, 曼聯 has surged ahead in that pursuit, especially with Sesko’s impressive 18 goals in the 2023-2024 德甲聯賽 season adding to his appeal.
Future Moves and Negotiation Dynamics
Liverpool is anticipated to come back with a stronger bid if they’re truly committed to acquiring Isak. On the other side, Newcastle plans to pursue Watkins only upon receiving positive signals and advancing their sales. Currently, Isak has been informed that no exit will occur unless an appropriate agreement is reached, underscoring the strategic patience in today’s transfer market where clubs like Newcastle, backed by significant investments, can afford to wait for optimal deals.
