newcastle, liverpool - Alexander Isak is considering leaving Newcastle United with Liverpool showing interest in signing him, sources reveal. Newcastle's reluctance to sell may change with a potential £150 million offer.

Alexander Isak Considering Move Away from Newcastle

Sources indicate that Alexander Isak is open to leaving Newcastle United, with Liverpool emerging as the top contenders for his signature. Despite Newcastle's resistance to selling him, a significant offer could sway their decision.

Newcastle's Stance and Isak's Absence

Newcastle has repeatedly stated that Isak is not for sale, even excluding him from the preseason tour due to a 'minor thigh injury.' However, reports suggest a £150 million bid could change their stance.

Liverpool's Interest and Alternative Signing

Although Liverpool expressed interest in Isak, they turned to Hugo Ekitike after facing obstacles in the deal. The club successfully acquired Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for £69m plus add-ons, diverting from their pursuit of Isak.

Despite manager Eddie Howe's confidence in retaining Isak, the player's future remains uncertain amidst Liverpool's attention.
