Newcastle ready to strike mega Liverpool Alexander Isak agreement
Newcastle are ready to agree to a mega sale of Alexander Isak according to one report but it all depends on one condition. Things have reached a boiling point between the two parties. Both Newcastle and Isak released statements of their own on Tuesday night in which they contradict each other. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Isak claims he had an agreement with Newcastle which they didn't adhere to. Newcastle claim there was no agreement of any kind in place. It's a bit of he said, she said at the moment. We probably will never find out the truth. But while Newcastle remain open to paving a way back for Isak into the first team, the Swede remains adamant he wants a change and made that clear in his statement. Ultimately, who will prevail remains to be seen. One thing is certain, even in Newcastle's statement, a departure from the club has not been ruled out. Newcastle claimed that certain 'conditions' had to be met, without alluding to what this is in order for Isak to be sold. These haven't been met so far but they could be soon. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range According to Keith Downie, a reporter for Sky Sports, speaking on the Good Morning Transfers show, Newcastle could be ready to agree a mega transfer for Isak. "I think if they were to land [Yoane] Wissa in the next few days and I'm expecting Newcastle to come in with a higher bid to Brentford. If they were to land Wissa, and Liverpool came to the table and offered a £130m or a £135m would be my reading into the situation then I think Newcastle might have a little decision to make," Downie said. So it feels like there is a deal to be had. Officially, Newcastle's asking price may be £150m but behind the scenes if Downie is to be believed they are ready to do a deal at a lower price. Let's not get it twisted. £150m is still a lot of money to pay for one player. It's a mega deal at the end of the day. It will shatter the British transfer record. But Liverpool have wanted to sign Isak for ages. He's been their man from the beginning of the summer. If they really want him, why not pay the £25m extra from your initial £110m bid in order to get the transfer over the line? Obviously, the condition is that Newcastle need to sign Wissa first. At this moment in time that hasn't happened yet. If it does, the doors will swing ajar for Liverpool to strike an agreement. The situation is still murky and it's hard to predict how this one ends. But Newcastle haven't completely ruled out the possibility of Isak leaving. On the other hand, the Swede has made it very clear he doesn't want to play for the Magpies again. At this point surely Newcastle are better off selling Isak and moving on from this situation.

Paris FC sign Germany goalkeeper Trapp
German international goalkeeper Kevin Trapp returned to France for a second spell on Wednesday, signing for newly-promoted Paris FC from Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt. The 35-year-old, capped nine times, has signed a three-year contract with Paris FC, who are backed by the Arnaults, one of the world's wealthiest families. They opened their campaign -- their first in France's top flight in 46 years -- in disappointing fashion with a 1-0 defeat away at Angers on Sunday. "Paris FC is proud to welcome Kevin," the club said in a statement. Trapp previously played for their city rivals Paris Saint-Germain from 2015 to 2018, and was a regular in the side that won the Ligue 1 title in 2016 before gradually falling out of favour. He returned to Eintracht -- for whom he had played from 2012 to 2015 -- on loan in 2018 before signing permanently. Trapp played in the side that won the Europa League in 2022, and was man of the match in the final against Rangers. He then helped Eintracht finish third in the Bundesliga last term, the first time they had made the top three since 1993. He will bring the experience at the top level that for the moment is lacking in 22-year-old Obed Nkambadio, who was first choice last season and played in the Angers game. Paris FC's next challenge is away in the febrile atmosphere of the Stade Velodrome at Marseille, who also lost their opener 1-0 to Rennes. gk/si/pi/as

Agent Of Marseille & France Midfielder Comments On His Future Amid Inter Milan Links: 'We Will Evaluate Offers From Serie A'
Marseille midfielder Adrien Rabiot could return to Serie A after his representatives offered him to Inter Milan. Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Rabiot's mother-agent Veronique delivered a verdict on her son's future. Despite joining Marseille only last summer, Adrien Rabiot could already be on his way back to Italy. Indeed, the former Juventus star has grown frustrated with life at Stade Velodrome. Following a heated discussion with his teammate, Jonathan Rowe, Rabiot has expressed his desire to leave. Although Roberto De Zerbi sidelined Rowe, the 30-year-old remains keen on severing ties with Marseille. Meanwhile, his entourage has offered his services to Inter. The Nerazzurri refused to sign the Frenchman last summer when his contract at Juventus expired. As it stands, Inter's stance has not changed as they seem unwilling to seize this opportunity. On the other hand, his mother confirms his decision to find a new club. Adrien Rabiot Agent Fuels Exit Speculation Amid Inter Milan Links SALERNO, ITALY – JANUARY 07: Adrien Rabiot of Juventus during the Serie A TIM match between US Salernitana and Juventus at Stadio Arechi on January 07, 2024 in Salerno, Italy. (Photo by) Veronique admitted they will entertain offers from Serie A. However, she left the door open to a potential switch to the Premier League and La Liga. 'From now on, we will only consider serious projects coming from Italy, Spain, and England,' she said. Furthermore, she also dismissed De Zerbi's recent claim that Rabiot had shown unprofessional behavior. 'It came as a shock, because disagreements between players do happen. 'In any case, Italy shouldn't be ruled out, alongside the projects of top clubs in Spain and England,' said the mother-agent. Rabiot has emerged as one of the potential midfield targets for Inter. However, the Italian giants prefer a younger alternative, with Rennes starlet Djaoui Cisse ranking high on their list.
