In a developing transfer saga, Newcastle United have rejected an official bid from Liverpool for Swedish striker Alexander Isak, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
Ornstein also reports that Newcastle have suggested a new deal for the 25-year-old, including a 2026 release clause, but the forward appears intent on a move to Liverpool.
Liverpool’s interest in Isak has been long-rumoured, but this is the first confirmed formal attempt by the Merseyside club to secure the 25-year-old forward. The bid -whose exact terms remain undisclosed - was swiftly rejected by Newcastle, who view Isak as central to their long-term project.
Newcastle's new contract offer to Isak suggests the club is keen to retain him for at least one more season, potentially with an eye on Champions League qualification and continued squad stability.
Newcastle’s firm stance will be tested as the window progresses. Should Isak push harder for the move, and Liverpool return with an improved offer, the Magpies may find themselves in a delicate balance between retaining talent and managing squad harmony.
