Newcastle United have suffered another setback in their pursuit for Alexander Isak’s replacement in the current transfer window.
The Swedish-Eritrean attacker has been pushing for a move away from Newcastle United in the current transfer window, with Liverpool expressing keen interest in the attacker.
Newcastle’s effort to renew Isak’s contract has proven futile. However, the Magpies has set sights on securing a new striker for the 2025/26 football campaign, with Jørgen Strand Larsen emerging as a target.
The English club is aiming to bring in two strikers this offseason, with Jørgen Strand Larsen high on their shortlist.
The Magpies made a £50 million offer to Wolverhampton in an attempt to snap up the forward, with Wolves turning down the offer insisting he is not for sale.
Wolves view the forward as an important player to the team’s survival this campaign, ruling out a move this summer. Additionally, the club simply wouldn’t have enough time to find a replacement before the window closes.
After such a resolute stance, Newcastle pulled out of negotiations, even though they were convinced they could land the Norwegian.
