๐ Newcastleโs Demands:
A minimum fee of ยฃ150 million, with no room for negotiation below that figure.
Payment structure must include upfront cash exceeding ยฃ65 million.
No player swaps will be accepted โ cash-only deal.
Any deal must be finalized before Newcastleโs preseason tour, or theyโll shut down negotiations entirely.

๐ฃ๏ธ Club Source Says:
> โWe value Alexander Isak as one of the best forwards in the Premier League. If heโs to leave, it will only be on our terms. Weโre not under pressure to sell.โ

โ ๏ธ Why Itโs Complicated for Liverpool:
Liverpool are already close to the ยฃ300M mark in total summer spending after landing Wirtz, Gordon, Guรฉhi, and Kerkez.
FFP constraints could force the Reds to offload players like Darwin Nรบรฑez or Luis Dรญaz before any big incoming deal.
Thereโs growing competition from PSG, who are monitoring the situation and could hijack the deal late with a larger offer.

๐ด Where Liverpool Stand:
Arne Slot remains fully committed to Isak, having identified him as the ideal striker to lead the new era.
Liverpoolโs board is now considering structured payment options or strategic player sales to meet Newcastleโs asking price.
Talks are ongoing, but itโs clear: Liverpool must act decisively, or risk losing out.
