The transfer saga involving Newcastle United's striker Alexander Isak and Liverpool continues to develop, with Fabrizio Romano providing a significant update on the situation.

Alexander Isak, 25, has made it clear that he wants to leave Newcastle for Liverpool and is unwilling to sign a new contract with the Magpies, whose current deal runs until June 2028. Despite this, Newcastle have so far rejected Liverpool's initial £110 million bid, valuing the striker at around £150 million. The club's Saudi Arabian owners, PIF, reportedly wish to keep Isak this summer, reinforcing a "not for sale" stance after qualifying for the Champions League.

Isak has been training away from the Newcastle first team amid the ongoing transfer uncertainty. Liverpool, meanwhile, have not yet submitted a second bid but are believed to be prepared to increase their offer if Newcastle show a willingness to negotiate, potentially aiming for around £120-130 million.

Romano emphasized that a deal for Isak to move to Liverpool is "absolutely on, absolutely concrete and absolutely likely." He noted that neither Newcastle nor manager Eddie Howe have closed the door on the transfer despite reports to the contrary. The situation remains fluid, with Liverpool maintaining their focus on securing the Sweden international striker.

Newcastle appear to be preparing for Isak's potential departure by targeting other attacking options, including Brentford’s Yoane Wissa and Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, signaling readiness to invest in the squad's future in case the transfer materializes.

In summary, the Alexander Isak transfer saga is ongoing, with the player's desire to join Liverpool clear, Newcastle initially resisting but possibly opening negotiations, and Liverpool eager to finalize a deal before the Premier League season begins.
