Alexander Isaac is “training alone” amidst his uncertainty about Newcastle. He was given another major blow as a second star who wanted to join “Liverpool.”
It has been widely reported that Isaac is a Liverpool dream target and prefers the move to Anfield amid interest from Saudi Arabia after informing Newcastle of his intention to “explor” the exit this summer.
Liverpool has already spent £26am on signing this summer, with Hugo Ekitique, Florian Wiltz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremy Fripon adding marquees.
But the Reds have the money to spend even a dime a year ago. Darwinnes, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa are all linked with the exit to raise more funds following the departure of Luis Diaz and Jarrel Cuanza, who left at 60.5m and £30m respectively.
Although Liverpool is believed to be preparing an official offer, the owner of Newcastle’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been angry at the prospect that Liverpool is waiting to drum up the funds to sign Starman, so he has told ISAK to either clash with “training” or Atletico Madrid in the Espanyol game, “training” or “training” or play.
“Isaac knows the score,” the Swedes said, “is expected to fulfill his duties as a Newcastle player as soon as this trip is completed.”
When asked if Isaac had called, manager Eddie Howe said:
Sky Sports now claims that Isaac has returned to former club Real Sociedad, saying he “knows where he is” in Newcastle.

“If ISAK leaves Newcastle, his previous club will receive a transfer fee of 10% of one euro, 700 million euros (£60.5 million).

But can Liverpool make Anthony Gordon move instead? According to former Man Utd Scout Mick Brown, the winger said he “want to join” with the Reds.
“Liverpool will use that Diaz money to sign a replacement,” Brown told Football Insider.
“One of the names we spoke a lot is Anthony Gordon because he is their long-term target in that position and ideal.
“I think this plan was at the start of the window. If they sell Diaz, they can go to Gordon. He wants to be involved.
“The availability of ISAK has changed things slightly.
“If you sign him, they will fix the major issues they had in their first year of slots.
“He obviously wants to join Liverpool, so we look forward to them making an effort to land him.
“So, it’s who’s going to be widely available. I don’t think I’ve got money signed to both Isak and Gordon because of how much they’ve already spent.
“We are looking at megamoney here, and these deals won’t be cheaper in Liverpool either.
“If they’re selling Diaz and getting Isaac and spending money, will they play someone else big to fill the gap? Because that’s their next issue.
“I think at this stage we have to wait and see what they’re doing.”
