Behind the Scenes Talks?

Multiple outlets including The Athletic & Daily Mail, claim Isak's informed the club he wants clarity on possible move with Liverpool reportedly keen on his signature.

He admitted Isak's under pressure:

"He knows he’ll be in the headlines daily. That’s not easy for anyone in this position"

€170M Price Tag Set

Reports suggest Newcastle've placed 170 million Euro price tag on Isak an amount widely seen as deal breaker for potential buyers.
