REVEALED: Why Newcastle Rejected Liverpool’s £85M Bid for Isak — It’s Not About the Money!
Liverpool made a massive offer for Newcastle star Alexander Isak, hoping to bring him in as pressure mounts on Núñez and with Díaz set for Bayern. But Newcastle didn’t hesitate — they flatly rejected the deal.
Now, the truth is out.
Despite initial talks, Liverpool’s proposal — involving staggered payments and possible player swaps — was seen as disrespectful. But the real blocker? Manager Eddie Howe. He personally intervened, making it clear: Isak is not for sale.
Insiders reveal Newcastle now have a quiet “no-sale to Big Six” policy for their key players like Isak, Guimarães, and Botman — unless their release clauses are triggered.
This bold move signals more than just a transfer snub. Newcastle are done playing feeder club. They’re here to challenge the top six, not support them.
Isak’s cryptic Instagram summed it up:
“We stay hungry. We stay loyal. We stay building.”
This isn’t just business—it’s a Premier League power shift.
