Newcastle United have reportedly turned down an offer from Liverpool for the services of Swedish-Eritrean forward Alexander Isak.
The Premier League giants are executing an aggressive effort to augment their squad for the upcoming 2025/26 campaign in an attempt to compete for laurels, with Isak emerging as a priority target.
According to reports, Newcastle United have rejected first offer from Liverpool, who are keen to land the enterprising attacker this summer.
The Reds submitted an initial offer of €120 million plus additional bonuses, with the Magpies issuing a categorical refusal, forcing the six-time Champions Leahue holders to halt their pursuit.
Newcastle is pushing for a new, improved contract with Isak, which would include a mandatory sale option next season. However, Alexander is flatly refusing to accept this idea and has staged a full-blown boycott of the club.
The 25-year-old joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022 for €70 million and has since played 109 matches, netting 62 goals and providing 11 assists.
