Fabrizio Romano confirms green light IMMINENT in Alexander Isak deal
Ever since Newcastle rejected Liverpool's opening transfer offer - reported to be in the region of £110m - it's been speculated that sporting director Richard Hughes could be back with another bid.

Eddie Howe's side have suffered a disappointing transfer window - landing precisely NONE of their forward targets.
Romano optimistic Newcastle will land striker
Hugo Ekitike was on the list - as were Joao Pedro, Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo - but all have moved elsewhere with Ekitike taking to life at Liverpool with relish.
Newcastle won't dare sell Isak until a new forward or two are sourced. Only then will Liverpool be permitted to wrap up a deal for 25-year-old Isak.
But the Reds have got reason to believe that a deal could be edging closer. Fabrizio Romano claims that a 'green light' will soon come in the Magpies' chase for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa.
Newcastle expecting Wissa "green light"
The knock-on effect of that deal will include Isak perhaps being allowed his dream move to Anfield. Of course, Newcastle will also need to go shopping for a new No9.
'Obviously Newcastle need a replacement – maybe even two strikers,' the Italian transfer supremo told his YouTube audience.
'We know the situation with Yoane Wissa at Brentford: Brentford are still blocking him, but Newcastle remain confident they'll get the green light.
'Then they would move to sign a new striker, because they need a proper number nine before they can allow Isak to leave.'

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

Matías Soulé catches the eye of Borussia Dortmund
Matías Soulé catches the eye of Borussia Dortmund Borussia Dortmund continues to scour the market in search of attacking reinforcements. According to Sky Sport Germany, the Ruhr club has set its sights on Matías Soulé, the 22-year-old Argentine winger. After joining AS Roma from Juventus last summer, Soulé delivered an impressive campaign, tallying 5 goals and 5 assists in 27 Serie A appearances. Roma is reportedly open to a transfer and values the player at around €30 million. Sky also reports that Soulé is just one name on a shortlist of players offered to BVB. Christopher Nkunku has also been mentioned, but his transfer fee and salary make a deal unrealistic. With competition from European giants such as Bayern Munich, Leipzig, and Inter Milan, Dortmund will need to make a swift decision if they want to move forward.
