Reports say Newcastle United are being offered a “cut price” transfer as they are trying to fill in the blank left by Liverpool target Alexander Isaac.
Magpies endure a rough summer transfer window as some Big Six Sides defeated them to favorable targets, including James Trafford, Benjamin Sesco, Brian M Beumo, Matthew Scuña, Hugo Ekitique, Joao Pedro and Liam Dellup.
Newcastle also faces concerns about losing Isaac amid interest from Liverpool, with the world-class striker aiming to move to Premier League ownership.
The 25-year-old, who scored 27 goals in all competitions last season, spits out a dummy to pursue a move to Liverpool, but it remains to be seen whether Newcastle will sanction his sale.
With ISAK still under contract until 2028, Newcastle is intended for a reported £150 million asking price, but it has been suggested that they want to land replacements before Liverpool’s target leaves.

It is unclear whether the club will ensure proper substitutions as Newcastle has exhausted its options. A new report from Bootroom’s Graeme Bailey claims that “the opportunity to sign” “Sports Lisbon Forward Conrad” in “Cut Price Transfers.”
The 20-year-old is reportedly “trying to leave” Sports Lisbon in this window, amid interest from AC Milan.
Harder joined Sporting Lisbon last summer for around £16 million from Nordsjaelland, scoring 12 goals in his debut season. Although his current deal is understood to have a release clause of £609 million, it appears he can be used for a short fee as AC Milan “provided £20 million and a substantial sell-on clause.”
Bailey added: “TBR Football can make it clear that intermediaries are in touch with Newcastle and informing them of more difficult situations.
“We understand that Harder understands that Newcastle is a player he has previously scouted. Newcastle is in the market for two new strikers before the windows close.”

Newcastle may decide to raise more attention as soccer insider Pete O’Rourke reports that wolf star Jorgen Strand Larsen’s move appears to be “increasingly unlikely” because he “reluctant to sell.”
“He’s on Newcastle’s list, but perhaps if they bring in a new striker now, he’s probably not at the top of the list,” O’Rourke told Soccer Insider.
“If the wolves even considered letting Strandlersen go, they would want a lot of money for him.
“The wolves really don’t want to sell. They’ve already lost two major performers since last season, but Newcastle is on his list.
“They haven’t even solidified their formal bids or approaches to Norwegians, so the wolves are hoping they can keep Strand Larsen.
“Newcastle still has other targets before Strand Larsen if he brings in a new striker.”
Following this update, journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed that the Magpie refused a £50 million bid for Larsen by a wolf “not planning to sell.”
