Amid the Alexander Isak transfer saga, Newcastle United have rejoined the race to sign a £50million Liverpool goal, in keeping with reports.
With just over every week before the brand new Premier League season starts, Isak’s future is up within the air, with the striker keen on a move to Anfield.
The Magpies rejected Liverpool’s opening bid of £110m, however the Reds could make an improved offer before the transfer window closes, especially in the event that they cash-in on Darwin Nunez.
Isak missed Newcastle’s pre-season tour, citing a thigh injury, and held showdown talks with manager Eddie Howe on Monday.
It’s the newest drama in what has been a nightmare summer for Newcastle who’ve missed out on quite a few transfer targets including Joao Pedro, James Trafford, Bryan Mbeumo and Hugo Ekitike.

With the deadline looming, they at the moment are hoping to get a rare win and revenge on the Reds by signing a player they failed to amass last 12 months: Marc Guehi.
The Times report that the Tyneside club will revive their interest within the Crystal Palace captain who can also be wanted by Liverpool and Tottenham.
Newcastle made three bids for Guehi last summer, all of which fell in need of Palace’s £70m asking price and are back in for a right-sided centre-back after a move for Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini fell through.
Spurs did meet Palace’s valuation in January but left it far too late within the window for the Eagles to think about a sale.
It is alleged the South London side have dropped their asking price to £50m – £10m greater than each Liverpool and Newcastle wish to spend on the defender who has entered the last 12 months of his contract and shouldn’t be expected to sign a brand new one.
Guehi joined Palace from Chelsea 4 years ago in a transfer value £18m, with the Blues to bank 20 per cent of whatever profit Oliver Glasner’s side make on him.
The 25-year-old is taken into account top-of-the-line centre-backs within the Premier League and lead the Eagles to FA Cup glory last season.
