Liverpool's £120m bid for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle as striker pushes for Anfield move
Liverpool have made a major move in the transfer market by opening formal talks with Newcastle United for star striker Alexander Isak. The Reds submitted an official proposal worth £120 million plus add-ons, but Newcastle immediately turned it down, rejecting the bid.
Sources close to the deal reveal that Newcastle are not willing to entertain any negotiations unless they find a suitable replacement for Isak. Even if that happens, there is no guarantee the club will allow their prized forward to leave.
Liverpool, however, remain determined to secure the Swedish international and are planning to return with another approach. Isak has reportedly made his desire to join Liverpool clear, increasing the pressure on Newcastle.
Despite rumours about a potential new deal at St. James' Park, no contract negotiations are currently taking place, fuelling further speculation. Arne Slot's side view Isak as a key addition to strengthen their attack ahead of the upcoming season.

Spurs captain Son Heung-min to quit Premier League club
Captain Son Heung-min is to leave Tottenham Hotspur after a decade with the Premier League side, including two years under its former Australian boss Ange Postecoglou. At a media conference in Seoul on Saturday, Son said his decision to leave was the most difficult of his career and the club was supporting him as he looked to move on. Spurs will face Newcastle United in a preseason friendly on Sunday in Seoul in what could the final match of Son's time at Spurs. "Before we start the press conference, I just want to share the information that I have decided to leave this club in this summer," Son said. "Respectfully, this club is helping me to my decisions. So I just wanted to share this information before we start the conference." "I came to North London as a kid, 23 years old, very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English and leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment." Son also paid tribute to Tottenham fans. "I just want to say thank you to all of the Spurs fans that gave me so much love and felt like it was my home," he said. "It was one of the toughest decisions I ever made. So I hope the goodbye is always also in a good timing you know. "But I think it's the right time to make this decision. So I hope that everybody understands my decision and hope that everyone respects that." Son said he did not have an answer about his playing future though he plans to play for South Korea at next year's World Cup in North America. Media reports have also suggested MLS outfit Los Angeles FC are among favourites to secure his signature. Son achieved his goal of silverware in May when he helped Spurs to Europa League success with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United. It ended a 17-year trophy drought for the club, though the win failed to save the job of Postecoglou who was promptly replaced by Thomas Frank. In 454 appearances for Tottenham, Son scored 173 goals.
