According to 'The Athletic', Liverpool has shown strong interest in acquiring Isak, which aligns with the player's desire to leave Newcastle this summer.

The report indicated that Newcastle made an offer to Isak that included a contract renewal with improved terms and a release clause for a move next summer. However, the player rejected the offer and insists on an immediate transfer.

Isak is absent from Newcastle's pre-season tour in South Korea, as he is currently training with his former team Real Sociedad in Spain, which the network described as the player's preferred option given the uncertainty surrounding his future.

Isak has three years remaining on his contract after joining Newcastle from Sociedad in 2022 for £60 million, yet the club continues to assert that the player is not for sale, while starting to explore alternative options in anticipation of his departure.
