Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has been told to train alone at the club’s Benton base amid ongoing uncertainty over his future this summer. The 25-year-old Sweden international did not join his teammates on their preseason tour to Singapore and South Korea, officially due to a minor thigh injury. However, this absence coincided with Liverpool’s renewed interest, having tabled a significant £110 million bid for him.

Isak subsequently indicated his desire to explore transfer options and went to Spain to train with former club Real Sociedad. He returned to Newcastle shortly before the team completed its preseason tour. Upon the squad’s return, players and their families trained together, but Isak was excluded, arriving at the training ground only after the team had left for the day.

Reports suggest Newcastle’s rejection of Liverpool’s initial bid was clear enough to discourage the Merseyside club from making an immediate second offer. Despite this, Liverpool is said to have raised their offer in an attempt to "unblock" the transfer and secure Isak’s signature, with expectations that a deal could become history-making. The situation remains fluid as Newcastle appear firm on their valuation while Isak and Liverpool push for a move.

Isak’s treatment by Newcastle, including being told to train alone, underscores the club’s position that he may be set to leave this summer if the right valuation is met. Liverpool continues to monitor the situation closely, potentially positioning themselves to finalize a major transfer during this window.
