Overview

• Stuttgart said Woltemade was excused from training and match duties to negotiate a move, with reports stating he has traveled to England for a medical.
• Multiple outlets report a club-record fee for Newcastle in the region of €85m plus add-ons, with some variance in estimates across sources.
• Liverpool had a £110m offer for Isak rejected earlier in the summer, and several reports now indicate an increased proposal around £130m is being prepared or has been submitted.
• Newcastle had maintained Isak would only be sold once a replacement was secured, and the imminent Woltemade deal satisfies that condition according to reporting.
• With the deadline approaching, timing is tight for registrations, and local reporting notes Liverpool would need to complete paperwork by Friday noon for any chance of Isak featuring this weekend.
