Newcastle United is reportedly expecting Liverpool to table an official transfer offer for striker Alexander Isak, following the approval of Luis Diaz's $88 million (£66 million) move to Bayern Munich.

The Colombian winger is set to leave after a three-and-a-half-year stint at Anfield, paving the way for further spending this summer.

A deal for Diaz has been agreed between Liverpool and Bayern, with the player given the go-ahead to depart the Far East tour to jet off to Europe and put pen to paper.

Diaz had been pushing for a move to Germany after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract with Liverpool.

Diaz expressed an interest in leaving Merseyside a year ago, which was denied, but two unsuccessful attempts at negotiating new terms have led Arne Slot's team to contemplate a sale.

Slot confirmed that Diaz was omitted from the squad for a friendly loss to AC Milan on Saturday due to rumors about his future.
