Liverpool are actively pursuing Alexander Isak in the current transfer window, with ongoing talks planned as the club remains interested in signing the Newcastle United striker. Isak, who has three years left on his contract with Newcastle until June 2028, has made it clear that he does not intend to sign a new deal with the Magpies and reportedly wants to join Liverpool. Newcastle have tried to negotiate a contract extension with Isak, but he has consistently turned down the offer, maintaining his desire to move to Liverpool. This has left the transfer saga very much alive, with Liverpool prepared to potentially make an improved bid for the Swedish international striker.

Meanwhile, Newcastle appear to be preparing for the possibility of losing Isak this summer. Sources indicate that the club is closing in on acquiring Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa and have shown interest in Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson as potential long-term striker investments. This suggests that Newcastle are readying themselves for a future without Isak, reinforcing his intention to leave. However, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has publicly stated that he is not aware of any firm decision on Isak's transfer or a sale ban, indicating that transfer discussions are ongoing beyond his direct involvement.

The situation is further complicated by Isak's current status, as he is training in isolation, reportedly due to a fractured relationship with Newcastle. Some reports cite tensions between the player and club staff, which may have influenced his stance on the transfer. Despite this, Liverpool fans are watching closely, as the club needs to strengthen its forward line and views Isak as a key target. Transfer insiders note the story "is not over" and recommend monitoring developments in the coming days and weeks as the negotiations continue.
