Newcastle United has rejected a bid from Liverpool reportedly exceeding £100 million for striker Alexander Isak. Despite the high offer, Newcastle remains firm in their valuation, reflecting Isak's importance to the team as he has a contract with them for another three years. The 25-year-old Swedish forward has expressed a clear desire to explore new opportunities, making it evident he is keen on a move, with Liverpool emerging as a leading suitor.

Isak has enjoyed a significant progression since joining Newcastle from Real Sociedad, scoring 54 goals in 86 Premier League appearances. His impressive record and development have boosted his profile, fueling Liverpool's interest in securing a proven number nine, a position the Premier League champions view as a key area for strengthening as they prepare for the upcoming season.

While the verbal agreement on personal terms between Isak and Liverpool has reportedly been reached, a club-to-club agreement remains elusive, primarily due to Newcastle's high asking price. The Magpies are in a strong financial position and are unlikely to be pressured into a sale below their valuation.

In parallel, Newcastle is seeking a replacement striker and is interested in German forward Nick Woltemade. However, they face competition from Manchester United for his signing, as both Premier League clubs look to bolster their attacking options this summer.
