Liverpool appear ready to revisit negotiations for Alexander Isak despite the striker’s recent return to Newcastle United’s training sessions, according to reports. The situation has grown more complex as Newcastle advance their pursuit of RB Leipzig\u2019s Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko, potentially opening the door for new talks with Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Several sources indicate that Liverpool is preparing a second offer for Isak. The Daily Mail suggested this proposal might surpass the British transfer record, which was set earlier this summer by Florian Wirtz\u2019s \u00a3116 million (\u00a3154.1 million) transfer. Liverpool had previously floated the idea of a \u00a3120 million approach during informal discussions with Newcastle, a figure that surprised many given the initial bid was notably lower.<\/p>\n
Newcastle reportedly value Isak at around \u00a3150 million ($199.2 million). However, the club could be inclined to engage in negotiations with Liverpool if they successfully secure \u0160e\u0161ko as a replacement. Isak\u2019s strong preference to join Liverpool this summer was seen as a factor in the club\u2019s negotiating position. The 25-year-old striker even trained alone with his former club Real Sociedad, an action his current manager Eddie Howe only discovered through media reports.<\/p>\n
That said, Isak has now returned to Newcastle and is expected to resume training with his teammates as the new Premier League season approaches, according to information from The Athletic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
