Alexander Isaac to Liverpool “The transaction is closed” journalist later revealed that Newcastle would “not even talk” with the Reds.
Reports say ISAK’s £130 million bid is expected to arrive over the weekend, and Newcastle is claiming he wants to sign two strikers before sanctioning his exit, but they are trading £70 million for Nick Urtemaid, considering Germany internationally as a direct replacement for Isaac.
Former football journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft dropped the bombing news of ISAK’s “trade” ahead of his trip to Leeds in Newcastle on Saturday night.
fjortoft writes to X: Nothing is expected that I was told as Newcastle is away in Leeds tonight. The expected fee to reach a £130 million ISAK to Liverpool is likely to incur soon. ”
Various other journalists and outlets quickly dismissed Fjortoft’s claim.
Ben Jacobs wrote to X: If the transaction is completed, expectations are below £130 million or not at all. Isaac remains optimistic about moving to Anfield before the windows close.

“The current currency is time, but everyone is hoping for it, and it was told that Alexander Isaac is on his way and should trade for Liverpool.”
Fjortoft was then asked if he thought Newcastle was conditional on signing either Whissa or Strandlersen.
He added:
