Alexander Isak has informed Newcastle he wants to explore his options this transfer window.
There has not been an official or formal transfer request to date. There have been conversations about a new contract at Newcastle in the last few months. However at this stage nothing has been agreed.
Isak has three years left on his deal so Newcastle are in a strong position in terms of transfer value, and value him at £150m. They insist he’s not for sale.
Isak wasn’t part of the travelling party to Singapore today, with Newcastle saying he was left at home due to a minor thigh issue and a long-haul flight wouldn’t have helped his recovery.
But the speculation is a contributing factor to Isak being left behind in Newcastle.
Liverpool made an informal approach for Isak last week before signing Hugo Ekitike – and it’s believed they remain huge admirers of Isak.
