Liverpool will submit a British transfer record bid to Newcastle for Alexander Isak after prolonged interest and Isak's refusal to play for Newcastle. Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade as Isak's replacement and are prepared to reduce their previously fixed asking price of 150m. Liverpool's new proposal will exceed the 116m paid for Florian Wirtz and follow an earlier 110m offer that was rejected in July. Personal terms between Liverpool and Isak have already been agreed, and open dialogue between the clubs aims for a quick completion.
Liverpool will now submit a British transfer record bid to Newcastle for Alexander Isak, we can exclusively reveal for CaughtOffside. Isak has been desperate to join the Premier League champions for several weeks, having opted against playing for Newcastle since it emerged that Liverpool were interested in signing him. And his efforts to secure his dream move are now set to be successful.
We understand that Newcastle, after agreeing a deal to sign Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade as Isak's replacement, are prepared to drop their asking price, which had been set in stone at 150m. And on the back of this, Liverpool are laying their cards on the table with a new proposal that will exceed the 116m they paid for Florian Wirtz earlier in the summer.
It was in July that Liverpool made their first move for Isak, submitting a 110m offer that was immediately rejected by Newcastle. Since then, the Anfield club have been biding their time, and patiently waiting for their Premier League rivals to give them encouragement to make a second bid and this offer will be around the 130m mark.
