Newcastle have opened the door for Liverpool to make a British-record bid for Alexander Isak.

The Magpies have agreed to pay £64.86m (€75m) plus £4.3m (€5m) in add-ons for the Stuttgart forward, taking the total package just north of £69m and surpassing the £63m they paid for Isak three years ago.
Woltemade will travel to the North East on Thursday to undergo a medical on Friday.
