The Newcastle striker ramped up his efforts to leave St James’ Park on Tuesday after breaking his silence on the ongoing transfer furore.

He slammed Magpies chiefs for ‘broken promises’ and claimed that his relationship with the club couldn’t continue.

And Isak’s latest attempts only appear to have encouraged Liverpool as they attempt to sign Isak before next month’s deadline.

Now, Reds chiefs have sanctioned a £130million bid for the 25-year-old and could lodge an offer to Newcastle over the coming days, as first reported by The Sun,.

Their previous bid for Isak was in the region of £110m but that was rebuffed by Newcastle.

We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.
