Overview

• Isak posted that Newcastle broke promises and said a move would be in everyone's best interests; the club rejected his claims and said conditions for a sale have not been met.
• Liverpool saw an opening offer of about £110m rejected earlier this month and, as of today, have not returned with an improved bid.
• Isak has been kept off the pre-season tour, has trained separately and is reported to have refused to play as he seeks an exit.
• Footage shared on social media shows young supporters shouting abuse at Isak as tensions around the saga rise.
• Coverage highlights possible alternatives if a deal fails now, including a potential FIFA Article 17 route next summer and interest linked to clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal and Saudi Pro League sides.
