Overview

• Liverpool’s rejected £110m fixed-fee offer stands, with reporting indicating they would only revisit the deal near £120m and not at the £150m level.
• Journalist Ben Jacobs reports Liverpool will not return to the table without clear signs Newcastle are ready to engage on realistic terms.
• Newcastle will only sanction a sale if a striker is secured, with Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen among options explored, though pricing has proved challenging.
• Some reports claim Isak wants the move and has stayed out of full training, while Newcastle hope he reintegrates after their match against Liverpool.
• The window closes on September 1, and separate Liverpool business continues, including interest in Marc Guehi amid a price gap and Roma’s pursuit of Kostas Tsimikas on a loan preference.
