Reports say Alexander Isaac is “furious” and was “said” by Newcastle United that he will not join Liverpool in the window this summer.
Isaac’s situation has been transformed into the biggest saga of the window this summer as world-class strikers seek to travel to Liverpool.
After scoring 27 goals in 42 appearances last season, Isak is a Liverpool dream target and has been widely reported to remain interested in Newcastle’s outstanding, even after landing Hugo Ekitike for around £80 million.
Liverpool has already failed in a bid of around £120 million for ISAK, which is reportedly on contract for around £150 million until 2028.
It is suggested that the red is ready to return with ISAK’s improved offers. On Thursday, Fabrizio Romano revealed:
“If Newcastle opens the door to travel, a new proposal is ready to submit. ISAK is still in his position. He doesn’t want to play or stay in Newcastle.

Isaac returned to training after missing out on a pre-season tour in Newcastle, but Eddie Howe had to work alone as he had to repair the bridge before reintegrating it.
Speaking on Friday, Howe admitted:
“I don’t know how long it will last, but it’s the latest.
“I want Alex to play today. I want him to train tomorrow. I want the players to be with us. Let’s make that clear. There’s nothing we don’t want to see the outcome, but the current situation at Aston Villa hasn’t changed.”

Also, the latest updates on ISAK indicate that returns may be leaving for some time. Telegraph’s Luke Edwards reports that Isaac is “enthussed” after being told by Newcastle that he had not “before” this summer, just as the club chief had “put his foot down.”
It is said that PIF adopted a “high-risk approach” in the “show of rebellion,” which “caused and tense, and Isak refuses to accept the decision gracefully.”
It will be added to the report:
“He won’t play for the club until Isaac gets his head around the fact that he’s being denied this transfer window move. This is a risky approach from the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, which owns Newcastle, but as revealed in Telegraph Sport last month, his position has always been the same.
“The decision was made to leave the transfer because they were aware that Newcastle refused to consider selling if there was a bid worth around £110 million that was rejected last week. Liverpool has shown that they will not bid again unless Newcastle changes its position.
