Liverpool are still **pushing hard** to sign **Alexander Isak**, even after their huge **£110 million bid** was rejected by **Newcastle United**.
Top journalist **David Ornstein** reports that Isak is back in training, which has only increased speculation about his future. While Newcastle are standing firm, Liverpool see this as a **huge opportunity** they can’t ignore.
Isak is considered one of the **most complete strikers** in the Premier League, with strength, precision, and calm finishing. New manager **Arne Slot** believes signing him would be a **major statement** and help fill a key need in the squad.
### Newcastle Hold Firm – But May Be Open to Talks
Newcastle want around **£150 million**, but that could just be a **starting point for negotiations**. According to Sky Germany’s **Florian Plettenberg**, Liverpool may return with an offer between **£130–140 million**, which might tempt Newcastle.
### Isak Back in Training – But What Does It Mean?
Some see Isak’s return to training as a sign he’s staying, but others believe it’s not so simple. Newcastle are reportedly looking at potential replacements—especially **RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško**—which could mean they’re preparing for life without Isak.
