Alexander Isak has returned to Newcastle United’s training ground after a period away, during which he trained individually at his former club Real Sociedad, amid ongoing transfer speculation. His absence coincided with a high-profile transfer saga as Liverpool submitted a £110 million bid for the Sweden striker, which Newcastle promptly rejected. Isak's future remains uncertain with Newcastle actively exploring options in the transfer market to potentially replace him.

Newcastle has made a formal offer to RB Leipzig for striker Benjamin Sesko, reportedly worth around £70 million, as manager Eddie Howe looks to strengthen his squad and also prepare for the possibility of Isak leaving. Howe acknowledged the complexity of the situation, describing it as "far from ideal." He also stated that the club supports Isak and hopes to see him continue as a Newcastle player despite the off-field distractions.

Isak’s return to the training ground marks a significant development, indicating a willingness to remain engaged with the team ahead of the new season. Nevertheless, the player’s future at Newcastle is still a subject of intense speculation, with continuing interest from other clubs and ongoing negotiations potentially shaping the club’s attacking lineup moving forward.

The transfer saga underlines Newcastle’s ambitions to remain competitive, balancing retention of key players like Isak with targeted new acquisitions such as Sesko. The situation remains dynamic as both club and player consider the best course moving forward, with Newcastle rejecting Liverpool’s substantial offer but keeping options open.
