Liverpool remain interested in Alexander Isak but are approaching negotiations cautiously to avoid unrealistic financial escalation. Liverpool submitted a 110 million fixed-fee bid for Isak, which Newcastle rejected, and that figure would have been a British-record outright transfer. Liverpool view the 110 million offer as a serious statement of intent and will not lodge another bid unless there are clear, realistic signs that Newcastle will engage on achievable terms. Liverpool would consider returning with an offer around 120 million, while figures near 150 million are treated as market-distorting and harmful to long-term recruitment strategy. Newcastle are also exploring striker options, including Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen, underscoring uncertainty over Isak’s future.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Liverpool remain interested in the Swedish forward but are treading cautiously in their approach, wary of pushing negotiations into unrealistic financial territory. Liverpool made headlines earlier this month with a 110 million offer for Isak, which Jacobs notes was structured entirely as a fixed fee. That would have been a British-record outright transfer sum, but Newcastle rejected it almost immediately and emphatically.
From Liverpool's perspective, the offer was far from a lowball attempt. Instead, they saw it as a serious statement of intent, especially given the structure of the deal with no add-ons. Since that rejection, Liverpool have maintained their stance of no new bid unless a clear pathway to a deal emerges. At this stage of the window, Jacobs explains that encouragement means more than just being invited back to the table;
However, talk of a 150 million fee has never been taken seriously at Anfield. Jacobs stresses that Liverpool view such figures as market-distorting and dangerous for their long-term strategy in player recruitment.

The Magpies are already exploring striker options, with Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen under consideration as potential replacements for Callum Wilson.
