Liverpool willing to walk away after £110m bid for Swede
Howe: ‘I really don’t know what is going to happen next’
Eddie Howe has admitted that the Alexander Isak situation is “far from ideal”, but still hopes to see the unsettled player back in a Newcastle shirt after confirming the club rejected an offer from Liverpool.
The 25-year-old Swede, one of the hottest properties in world football, has had his head turned by the Premier League champions’ interest this summer. Isak did not travel to Asia for Newcastle’s pre-season tour due to what the club called a “minor thigh injury”, only for his unhappiness to emerge along with the fact he is training at his former club Real Sociedad.
On Friday, Liverpool submitted a £110m bid but, after that was turned down, have intimated they do not intend to submit a second offer in this transfer window.
