Alexander Isak has returned to Newcastle's training ground after a period at Real Sociedad's facilities. He was absent during Newcastle's pre-season tour, officially due to a minor thigh injury, though it is believed he aimed to facilitate a transfer. Liverpool's recent bid of 110 million for Isak was rejected by Newcastle. Following the rejection, Liverpool opted not to engage in further bidding. Isak is scheduled to meet with head coach Eddie Howe to discuss his future and absence from the pre-season tour.
Isak did not travel with the rest of Newcastle's squad on pre-season tour last month, after informing the club hierarchy of his intention to pursue a move away this summer. Officially, the Swedish international was absent from Newcastle's friendly fixtures in Singapore and South Korea due to a 'minor thigh injury', although it is understood the player chose not to travel in order to push through a transfer.
Liverpool's 110 million bid for the player last week was rejected by Newcastle, leading to the Merseyside club informing the media they would not become engaged in a bidding war with themselves for the Magpies forward. There is doubt over the sincerity of Liverpool's assertion that their 110m proposal…is their final offer.
Isak is set to meet Eddie Howe after pulling out of their pre-season tour. The 25-year-old is reportedly scheduled for a meeting with head coach Eddie Howe, likely in order to discuss his future at the club and the decision not to participate in Newcastle's pre-season tour.
