The transfer plot involving Liverpool, Alexander Isak, and Newcastle United has taken a dramatic new turn, MySportDab reports.
Isak still remains Liverpool’s dream attacking option this summer despite the Reds recently completing a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike.
However, they were dealt a temporary setback as Newcastle United remained adamant on their no-sale decision on the player.
Relations between the two clubs crashed further when Liverpool beat the Magpies in the race for Hugo Ekitike, forcing the Tyne-based outfit to back out of the move and then tighten their grip on Isak.
Now, according to indykaila News, Liverpool and Newcastle United are back at the negotiation table again for Isak.
The report reveals the two clubs are ready to normalize their fractured relationship after the Hugo Ekitike transfer saga with Isak’s transfer back on the agenda.
Further details reveal Liverpool have increased their potential offer to Newcastle for Isak to £135m, including add-ons.
They are also ready to offer Harvey Elliot on a subsidized fee to the Magpies, but on a separate offer from the Isak deal.
At the wake of Liverpool’s new offer, Newcastle have resolved to convene a meeting with Isak to further clarify his decision on the Reds’ interest before making a decision.
Meanwhile, Isak is understood to have reached an agreement with Liverpool on personal terms and wants the move.
He is also likely to submit a transfer request to speed up the move if the transfer saga continues, per close sources.
From the foregoing, all is now pointing in the direction of Liverpool winning this race to sign Isak. However, nothing can be ascertained at the moment with fingers crossed on how this drama unfolds in the coming days.
