Alexander Isak makes quiet return to Newcastle United training as Liverpool move stalls

Alexander Isak is back in England and preparing for the new season with Newcastle United, returning to Tyneside after a solo training stint in Spain.

The Swedish striker had been keeping fit at Zubieta, the training base of his old club Real Sociedad. Now, with the bulk of Newcastle’s first-team squad still away on pre-season tour in Asia, Isak is expected to resume training at the club’s home base.

His return comes on the heels of a major transfer twist. Newcastle turned down a £110 million offer from Liverpool, who have long admired the 25-year-old forward. While Isak is believed to be open to a move this summer, the Magpies remain firm on keeping one of their most prized assets.

Liverpool, after seeing their offer swiftly rejected, are not currently planning a follow-up bid. Still, their interest remains alive, leaving room for further developments before the window shuts.

For now, Isak is back in black and white, preparing for what could be a defining season in his Premier League journey.
