Overview

• Isak has been training away from Newcastle’s first team, and multiple reports say he wants only Liverpool and has rejected new contract proposals.
• BBC Sport reports he is expected to skip Tuesday’s PFA awards in Manchester rather than make a public appearance linked to Newcastle.
• Newcastle rebuffed Liverpool’s £110m bid in early August and continue to insist on a higher valuation, leaving negotiations at an impasse.
• The Independent reports Liverpool are weighing whether to return with another offer and have imposed a short deadline next week before moving to other targets.
• Eddie Howe says the door is open for Isak to reintegrate but he wants clarity soon, and he has denied claims he was warned months ago the striker planned to leave.
