Liverpool learns Alexander Isak transfer conditions after a massive Newcastle ‘update’.

Liverpool apparently understands what it would take for Newcastle United to contemplate selling Alexander Isak. The Reds have long liked the striker and are rumored to be interested in signing him.

Arne Slot’s side has already rejected one deal for the Sweden international, with Newcastle putting down a £110 million offer. However, Isak’s future remains uncertain, and with Callum Wilson having left this summer, Newcastle are hoping to recruit at least one new forward before the September 1 deadline.

Brentford is reportedly requesting £40 million for Yoane Wissa, one of the players they are interested in. A new construction may have an impact on both Newcastle and Liverpool’s ambitions.

According to talkSPORT, Brentford is preventing Wissa from joining Newcastle, despite signing Dango Ouattara over the weekend. Brentford are reportedly wanting £60 million for Wissa, a 50% increase on their previous asking price.

Ouattara is widely seen as Bryan Mbeumo’s long-term successor, therefore Brentford must now find a replacement for Wissa. The decision has infuriated the footballer, who has unfollowed Brentford on social media, changed his profile picture, and erased any club-related information from his Instagram account.

Wissa was reportedly told he could go for £26 million after staying last season following Ivan Toney’s transfer to Al-Ahli.

If the transaction falls through, it might impact Isak’s future move to Anfield. According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle will only allow the trade if they sign two new strikers, something they have yet to do this summer.

The Magpies have already lost Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike, and Benjamin Sesko to Premier League rivals, but their search for new players continues.

Liverpool will not make a new bid until Newcastle confirms they are eager to trade their striker.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Isak has expressed a strong desire to join Liverpool. Interestingly, he mentions that the two clubs will face each other next, with suggestions that negotiations may resume following their match at St James’ Park.

Romano explained: “The reason is that Alexander Isak only wants to play for Liverpool.” Alexander Isak only wants to travel to Liverpool. Every time Newcastle, their board, management, or Eddie Howe approached Alexander Isak about a new contract in recent weeks, the player responded, ‘I’m not going to sign a new contract, I’m not interested in a new term.”

“Even when Isak offered the option of including a release clause so he could leave in 2026, the unequivocal response was always the same. Alexander Isak does not want to change positions, only Liverpool. We expect the two teams to resume negotiations, but Newcastle, as always, has to find a new striker, specifically a number nine.

“One component in this scenario is that Alexander Isak is in the middle of the two clubs. The next game is Newcastle vs Liverpool, which is also part of the plot and explains why the two clubs are on standby; these clubs will try again for Alexander.”
