Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe insisted that the Magpies are still waiting for a formal offer for notable Liverpool target Alexander Isak.
The Premier League champions were reportedly tipped to make a record-breaking bid for Isak in the region of £120 million ($160 million) in the middle of July. Once Newcastle made it abundantly clear that their talismanic forward wasn’t for sale, Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitiké. However, it now appears that Isak’s determination to leave has forced the Magpies to consider a reluctant sale.
