Overview

• Liverpool is preparing a formal bid in the region of £120m to £130m for Alexander Isak after an informal approach and the player’s transfer request.
• Newcastle manager Eddie Howe states no official offer has been received and emphasises that Isak remains contracted to the club until 2028.
• Isak has informed Newcastle he wants to explore a move exclusively this window, strengthening Liverpool’s negotiating position.
• The Magpies value Isak at £150m, underpinned by his three years remaining on contract and support from their Saudi-backed ownership.
• Newcastle plans to reinvest any funds from an Isak sale by pursuing forwards Benjamin Sesko and Nicolas Jackson as successors.
