Newcastle Determined to Keep Key Striker
The Magpies are reportedly eager to retain Isak beyond the current summer transfer window and are not willing to negotiate below their valuation.
“The bid from Liverpool was significant but fell short of our valuation We believe Isak is central to our future plans” a source close to Newcastle reportedly told Sky SportsIsak Trains Alone Amid Transfer Uncertainty
Isak is currently training in Spain at the facilities of his former club, Real Sociedad. He has skipped Newcastle’s pre-season tour of Asia, with the club initially attributing his absence to a minor thigh injury.
However, insiders suggest that the 25-year-old intends to leave St James’ Park this summer, increasing speculation over a high-profile move before the end of the window.
At just 25, Isak has become one of the most sought-after forwards in European football, admired for his composure, pace, and clinical finishing. His performances last season contributed heavily to Newcastle’s attacking output, and any transfer would not only bring in a massive fee but also leave a significant gap in their frontline. With Liverpool in need of a long-term central striker, this saga is expected to intensify in the coming days.
