Isak, a Sweden forward who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, has been training alone and did not join the Newcastle squad for preseason. He is eager to join Liverpool, which he considers his top priority.

Journalists have confirmed that Isak is not interested in speaking with other clubs, including Al Hilal, Chelsea, or Manchester United. His focus remains on joining Liverpool.

Liverpool has recently signed a new player, Hugo Ekitike, for £79M. However, they still have money to spend under the Premier League's financial rules. The club has expressed its willingness to pay a record-breaking £120M for Isak, but Newcastle has shown no interest in selling him.

As Isak continues to push for a transfer, Newcastle is exploring other options, including signing RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. This development suggests that Newcastle may be more open to selling Isak, especially if he refuses to play for the team.

Isak's motivation for leaving Newcastle is reportedly due to his desire to win trophies and earn a higher salary, similar to other top strikers in the Premier League. Liverpool can offer both high wages and a chance to win the league title, making it an attractive option for Isak.
