Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has made it clear he wants to leave the club this summer, with Liverpool being the only club he is willing to join. Isak expressed frustration over broken promises by Newcastle and has not participated in preseason or the start of the Premier League season, signaling his intent to push for a transfer to Liverpool. Despite interest from other parties, including Saudi club Al Hilal, Isak has dismissed all options besides Liverpool, communicating this directly and refusing to entertain other offers.

Newcastle, however, remain firm, insisting they have not received an acceptable offer and are unwilling to sell their star striker easily. The club has publicly stated they never committed to selling Isak this transfer window and do not foresee any suitor meeting their valuation, effectively daring Liverpool to come forward with a large bid. This stalemate has placed pressure on both parties, with Isak hoping for a British-record transfer fee from Liverpool and a significantly improved contract.

Liverpool have reportedly approached Isak's agent directly, bypassing Newcastle's position, which is their standard transfer protocol. Financial experts suggest Liverpool may make a deal worth around £125 million plus add-ons, potentially finalizing the transfer after Liverpool and Newcastle face each other again in the league. Newcastle's manager Eddie Howe has voiced the need for a swift resolution so the situation does not affect the squad.

Overall, the transfer saga continues with Isak firmly committed to joining Liverpool, Newcastle holding out for a high fee, and Liverpool preparing to intensify negotiations to secure one of the Premier League’s most sought-after strikers this summer.
