Owners step in as Liverpool ready RECORD-BREAKING bid | OneFootball

Liverpool have a record-breaking bid ready but now club owners have stepped in. It’s a twist they didn't want.

Liverpool have prepared a club-record bid for Alexander Isak. It’s one that will almost certainly break the British transfer record, too.

That’s the level of faith the Reds have in Isak. They believe he can be the long-term answer to their centre-forward position and someone who can complement the current crop of stars to perfection.

Diogo Jota: Thank you

Isak was quite comfortably the best striker in the Premier League last season and one of the absolute best in Europe. Few, if any, matched his all-around game going forward.

That Liverpool want him isn’t a surprise, nor is the amount of money they’d be willing to pay in order to secure the transfer.

The real question, then, is whether Isak is even available. And that’s entirely down to Newcastle United.

Newcastle owners step in

GiveMeSport claims Newcastle’s ownership have now stepped in to prevent any sale of Isak. This comes after a week of constant speculation, largely fuelled by the Swede not joining the squad on their pre-season tour.

In fact, Isak isn’t with Newcastle at all right now. He’s in Spain, training at Real Sociedad’s facilities.

Reports everywhere claim Isak wants to move to Liverpool and has made it clear to Newcastle. It’s an attempt to force their hand, essentially, making the club value the transfer fee more than having a disgruntled player.

But it appears that hasn’t worked. The ownership at Newcastle see no reason to take the money and don’t want to lose Isak.
