Newcastle United attempted to renegotiate a new contract with Alexander Isak earlier this week, but the player rejected the approach and made it clear that he wants to join Liverpool this summer.

That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who claimed during a recent video that Isak has no intention of signing a new deal with Newcastle.



Newcastle has attempted to sign a new striker, and a potential replacement for Isak, but has suffered a disastrous summer transfer window.

An attempted contract renegotiation and substantial pay rise for Isak failed, and the player is pushing to join Liverpool.

"I'm told that he's saying in a very clear way to Newcastle this week, that he's not willing to sign a new contract at the club," Romano said in a recent update.

"Newcastle tried again earlier this week, but Isak has no intention to sign and wants Liverpool." Howe also provided an update on Isak's situation on Friday.

Then, Liverpool began pursuing a record deal for Isak, but Newcastle has yet to enter negotiations.

Newcastle then attempted to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, and finally had a bid accepted
