According to Sky Sports, Newcastle value Isak at £150m and will try and hold out for that figure if anyone tests their resolve.

Isak was pictured arriving arriving for training at the Newcastle United Training Centre on Wednesday.

The Sweden international trained alone and was told to get treatment on the thigh injury that led to him missing his club's pre-season trip to South Korea and Singapore.

The club confirmed that Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was set to hold a barbecue for player families and staff later on in the day but a claim from Sky Sports suggested that Isak headed to the training ground after the social event.

The Chronicle reports that Howe had face-to-face talks with the striker and the club plan to make him play in the weekend friendly against Espanyol depending on fitness levels.

Jamie Carragher has told Liverpool not to spend £150m on Isak.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet, Carragher said: "He (Isak) will be an amazing signing but from a fan’s point of view for myself, I don’t want Liverpool to spend £150m on Isak.

Something about it doesn’t feel right to me.

"I look at Isak, and he’s obviously thrown his toys out the pram once Arsenal signed a striker and Liverpool signed a striker.
