Liverpool have now ramped up their efforts to sign Isak this summer.

BBC Sport reported on 1 August the Reds have seen a bid rejected by Newcastle for their star forward. 

The offer is believed to have been in the region of £110million plus add-ons despite the Tyneside club valuing Isak at around £150million. 

There have been questions asked about how Liverpool could afford to sign Isak after already spending heavily this summer. 

The Reds have spent around £270million in the current transfer window after signing Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman.

Finance expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider Liverpool can keep spending this summer as they look to agree a deal for Isak.

A deal for Isak would place the Reds as firm favourites to retain their Premier League title next season.

That means Liverpool could spend up to £270million more than Man City in the current window if they can finalise a deal for Isak.
