Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS Alexander Isak decision
Liverpool first started to really push for Alexander Isak back in January. He's seen internally as the one who can seriously take the Reds' attack to another level.
That's not exactly a revolutionary thought, of course. Isak was undoubtedly the best centre-forward in the Premier League last season from just about every viewpoint.

He was the star of Newcastle United's UEFA Champions League qualification - and that's exactly why he's so difficult to actually sign. Newcastle may not even accept a record fee for the Swede, such is their desire to keep him.
But things are now moving in a direction they don't like. Isak is now training away from the club on his own, while Liverpool appear to have more confidence than ever that a deal could happen.
Fabrizio Romano has the latest on that.
Fabrizio Romano on Alexander Isak
Romano took to Twitter to explain the situation, confirming that Isak has indeed made his choice: he wants to move to Liverpool. He's not entertaining other options right now, despite interest.
"Alexander Isak keeps waiting for Liverpool, his only clear choice despite reports on Al Hilal and more clubs," writes Romano.
"Personal terms never gonna be an issue, as choice has been made weeks ago."
That's huge, obviously. Isak wants Liverpool and Liverpool want Isak - it's just Newcastle that aren't certain here.
The moment they decide to sell, the Reds will move and get this wrapped up quickly. Which is why the last line of Romano's tweet is so important.

Report – Fenerbahce To Make Last-Ditch Bid For Inter Milan Star With Juventus Wantaway The Backup
Fenerbahce are set to make a last-ditch bid to sign Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu. This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. They report that the Turkish giants' Plan B would be to sign out-of-favour Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz. Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has been at the centre of no shortage of transfer speculation this summer. The 31-year-old was reportedly a major target for Galatasaray for several weeks. This led to a rioft behind the scenes. Inter captain Lautaro Martinez had all but called out the Turkish international a few weeks ago. Speaking frankly after Inter's Club World Cup exit against Fluminense, the Argentine implored 'whoever wants to leave, leave.' However, in the end Galatasaray's offer was nowhere near Inter's asking price.

(Photo by) Galatasaray were not the only club from Istanbul to show an interest in Calhanoglu's signature, though. Fenerbahce reportedly also sounded out a deal for the former AC Milan midfielder. According to SportMediaset, in fact, Fenerbahce still consider Calhanoglu a target. Therefore, the broadcaster report, the Turkish side will make a last-ditch offer before the end of the transfer window. Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho's side are targeting a different midfielder from within Serie A if they're unable to sign Calhanoglu. There is little doubt that former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz will be available after a lacklustre first season at Juventus.

Report – Atalanta Talisman No-Shows Training Amid Inter Milan Transfer Soap Opera
Forward Ademola Lookman has not attended Atalanta training today as his transfer soap opera with Inter Milan heats up. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has spent the past few days trying to force his club's hand on a transfer to Inter Milan. The Nigerian international had responded to Atalanta's rejection of Inter's second offer by scrubbing all traces of his current employers from his social media accounts. Then, yesterday Lookman took things several steps further. The 27-year-old made a public transfer request. Lookman did so in a statement in which he accused Atalanta of 'poor treatment' as well as 'breaking a promise.'

However, that is hardly likely to change the player's stance. Lookman wants Inter. And he is continuing to dig in his heels. Earlier today, Lookman was absent from Atalanta's team lunch. And in today's training session, Sky Sport Italia report, the former Leicester City and Fulham forward was once again not present.

Revealed – Miscommunication At The Heart Of Ademola Lookman & Atalanta Standoff
There is a miscommunication at the heart of the standoff between Ademola Lookman and Atalanta over the player's desire to join Inter Milan. Italian broadcaster SportMediaset report, via FCInterNews, that the 27-year-old's agents believed Atalanta promised they'd sell him to any club, whilst La Dea took for granted that this would include within Serie A. Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has spent the past few days trying to force his club's hand on a transfer to Inter Milan. The Nigerian international had responded to Atalanta's rejection of Inter's second offer by scrubbing all traces of his current employers from his social media accounts. Then, yesterday Lookman took things several steps further. The 27-year-old made a public transfer request. And today, Lookman no-showed Atalanta's training session.

Leverkusen at Dublin Arena on May 22, 2024 in Dublin, Ireland. (Photo by) The root of the tension between Lookman and Atalanta concerns the fact that the player believes that his club have promised him a transfer this summer. This after La Dea had refused to sell the Nigerian to Paris Saint-Germain last summer. And indeed, Atalanta have made a promise to Lookman behind the scenes, reports SportMediaset. The broadcaster note that there is indeed an informal agreement that Atalanta will listen to offers and try to facilitate a sale. However, La Dea CEO Luca Percassi claimed today that Atalanta consider this agreement invalid for teams in Serie A. Mediaset report that this is ultimately a misunderstanding between Atalanta and the representatives of Lookman. Atalanta assumed that it was virtually implied that they would not treat offers from Italian clubs the same as those from outside of Serie A. However, Lookman and his representatives have instead agreed terms with Inter. And their stance is that La Dea should honour the agreement by accepting a bid from the Nerazzurri.
