Newcastle United's rescue bid bolstered by Alan Shearer, as Liverpool imposes transfer deadline

Newcastle United's Pursuit of Alexander Isak Stalls Amidst Liverpool's £110 Million Bid

Alexander Isak, the Swedish striker currently with Newcastle United, has shown no signs of returning to the club after reportedly turning down their jersey and rejecting efforts to convince him to stay or return to training. Isak's stance remains firm, as he continues to train separately, not participating in Newcastle’s squad or pre-season matches.

Liverpool has given Newcastle a week to make a deal for Isak before considering other targets. However, Newcastle United is reportedly unwilling to compromise on the £203M they want for Isak, a sum that far exceeds Liverpool's current offer of £110 million ($147.9 million).

Isak's public posting that "the relationship can't continue" after Newcastle rejected Liverpool's offer, and his ongoing strike, demonstrate his determination to force a transfer before the window closes. Despite this, there has been no communication from Isak or his side regarding the situation.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United has yet to secure a new striker. They are reportedly pursuing Brentford's Yoane Wissa and Paris Saint-Germain's Goncalo Ramos as possible acquisitions. However, any reconciliation between Isak and Newcastle United must be settled before the end of the transfer window.

Alan Shearer, a former Newcastle United player and current pundit, sympathizes with the players and the manager due to Isak's refusal to play for Newcastle United. He believes it would be challenging for Isak to regain the trust of the fans and his teammates if he were to return. Shearer also highlights the contrast between Isak's contract and the cost of tickets for fans attending matches.

This situation follows a rejection of Liverpool's £149.1 million bid from Newcastle United for Isak. Isak has reportedly informed Newcastle United that he will not play for them again. Shearer believes there is a small chance Isak could reconcile with Newcastle United and play for them again, but it's unlikely he will apologize and return to the club. If there is an impasse and no one budges, Isak might be stuck at Newcastle past the transfer deadline.
