US EditionLiverpool Path to Alexander Isak Transfer Now Clear as Newcastle 'Perform Reluctant U-Turn' - Liverpool Echo
MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, AUG 5 – Liverpool aims to finalize a club-record deal for Alexander Isak, contingent on Newcastle signing Benjamin Sesko; financing may include Darwin Nunez's sale, sources say.
- Liverpool pursued Newcastle's striker Alexander Isak with a £110 million bid plus add-ons, which Newcastle rejected last week.
- Newcastle's refusal followed their demand for closer to £150 million and their need to sign Benjamin Sesko as Isak's replacement.
- Liverpool has bolstered transfer funds by agreeing to sell Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal and Tyler Morton to Lyon for up to £15 million this summer.
- Isak, aged 25, returned to Newcastle training after maintaining fitness with Real Sociedad but did not join their Asia pre-season tour amidst his transfer saga.
- Liverpool may renew their Isak bid using proceeds from player sales, while Newcastle's stance depends on securing Sesko, with the transfer window closing September 1.
