Newcastle United have turned down an initial offer from Liverpool for star striker Alexander Isak, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The bid was reportedly worth £120 million plus add-ons.

Despite the massive fee on the table, sources close to the deal say Newcastle are unwilling to greenlight the transfer until they secure a suitable replacement for their top scorer.

Alexander Isak is said to be pushing for a move to Liverpool, where he would be seen as a marquee attacking addition under new manager Arne Slot. However, the Swedish forward remains under contract at St James’ Park until 2028, giving Newcastle considerable leverage in negotiations.
