Liverpool are preparing a second bid for Alexander Isak after Newcastle rejected an offer worth £120million including add-ons.

Newcastle, though, do not want to lose their star striker after he netted 23 Premier League goals last season.

They are understood to value Isak at around £150m, but Sky Sports are reporting that Newcastle will not sanction a sale unless they have a replacement lined up even if they receive an offer that matches their valuation.

It is claimed that Liverpool are readying a new bid, but a deal is 'subject to Newcastle finding replacements'.

RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko has been mooted as a potential replacement for Isak, but Manchester United are also interested in the 22-year-old.

"He is still our player," Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said when asked about Isak's future earlier this week.

I would love to believe all possibilities are still available to us.

"My wish is that he stays, but that's not in my full control.
