The Newcastle chief reportedly angered Liverpool over his failed approach to signing Alexander Isaac. The Reds have been following his signature for several weeks, reaching for the magpie first last month. They submitted their first official bid on Friday, which was quickly turned down by the Tyneside Club.
It was said that Liverpool had filed an offer in the £110 million area, but Newcastle quickly rejected their progress. Since then, it has been reported that a second bid will not approach as the Reds have been pulled out of negotiations. Newcastle has revealed that Isaac, who is eager to join Liverpool, has a price tag of £150 million.
According to the Daily Mail, the club chief is left “confused and angry” in the way the Reds approach things.
They are said to be furious that Liverpool has submitted a lowball offer. Advanced Newcastle reportedly believes Isaac was “attacked” and “high and dry” by the club he wants to join.
Others are convinced that Anfield’s Chiefs simply offered “save the face” and that they were “providing Isaac and his camp by force to force the exit.”
The report adds that if Liverpool decides to return to the table at a later date, Newcastle will only consider selling ISAK in exchange for a “fair financial package.” They also need to line up replacements for the move to proceed.
Isak reportedly said he would “not go anywhere” unless Liverpool returned to an offer that matches the asking price more closely with Newcastle.
The striker was removed from the Newcastle team that traveled to the Far East for matches against Arsenal, Tottenham and K-League XI. He then traveled to Spain to prepare for the new season at Real Sociedad’s training facility.
Newcastle is said to be seeing Ollie Watkins as a potential replacement for Isaac, who will remain tied up until the summer of 2028.
