Could Alexander Isak terminate his Newcastle United contract and sign for Liverpool on a free using legal loophole?

Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak was substituted during the win over Brentford.

Newcastle's summer transfer window has been dominated by Isak's desire to leave the club and Liverpool's rejected £110 million approach.

While the Magpies have seen the likes of Jacob Ramsey, Anthony Elanga, Aaron Ramsdale and Malick Thiaw arrive at St. James' Park, their incomings have been overshadowed by the prospect of star striker Isak leaving the club under a cloud.

With Newcastle determined to keep the Swedish forward unless an offer they deem acceptable is received, Isak has gone on strike, training separately to the rest of Eddie Howe's squad and is not under consideration for matchday squads.
