Striker remains keen on move to Liverpool
Newcastle to make improved Strand Larsen bid
Alexander Isak is understood to have declined a high-powered invitation to return to Newcastle’s first-team fold.
The Sweden striker has spent most of this summer on a form of strike as he attempts to engineer a move to Liverpool by refusing to play for Eddie Howe’s first team or rejoin the squad for training.
Newcastle’s manager has repeatedly asked Isak to reintegrate as the club’s Saudi Arabian owners decide whether to hold the 25-year-old to a £140,000-a-week contract with three years still outstanding or sell him to Anfield.
