It's claimed that Richard Hughes is preparing a package for the 25-year-old, with the Reds having informed Newcastle it is willing to pay more than $160 million for his signature, which would be a new British transfer record.

It's also suggested that Isak is staying away from Newcastle's training ground, having told Eddie Howe he is working on his own training programme at home after being left out of the Magpies' tour of Asia.

The PSG striker is still said to be Juve's top target, although negotiations over a loan deal with an option to buy have proven difficult.
