"Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe (Image credit: CameraSport via Getty Images) Newcastle's resolve has finally been broken by a 125 million Liverpool bid. The Magpies are expected to report Isak's sale as a 130m capture by the Reds due to a bonus cost-saving, according to reports. Newcastle have replaced Isak with VfB Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade and, pending a medical, will announce Yoane Wissa's arrival before the transfer deadline at 7pm."
"Eddie Howe's side have started Anthony Gordon and Will Osula in recent fixtures due to Isak's self-imposed absence. The player has had his heart set on a move to Anfield, although Newcastle had previously taken a hard line with the attacker, rejecting a 110m proposal from Liverpool.

"The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. Newcastle's Isak sale will become the British transfer record, consequently smashing the club's individual transfer record for funds earned from a player's departure. The north-east club are not understood to be paying Isak a loyalty bonus, which is customary in transfers, as a result of this summer's ongoing saga and the player's decision not to go on pre-season tour."
Alexander Isak is set to join Liverpool in a deal valued at £125 million, with Newcastle expected to list the sale as £130m because of a bonus cost-saving. Newcastle have signed VfB Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade and will announce Yoane Wissa's arrival pending a medical before the transfer deadline. Isak has been absent from the squad and declined the pre-season tour while wanting a move to Anfield; Newcastle previously rejected a £110m offer. Anthony Gordon and Will Osula have started recent fixtures, and Gordon is serving a three-match ban. Newcastle are not paying Isak a customary loyalty bonus, saving about £5m. If completed, Isak's transfer will become the British transfer record and break Newcastle's record for funds received from a player's departure.
