The report alleges that Newcastle is trying to tie ISAK into a new, improved agreement that includes release clauses for next summer. However, the 25-year-old wants to join Liverpool, so he is not interested in signing fresh terms.
His personal attitude has been clear to the magpie for a while, but they continue to dig into his heels and hope that he will change his mind.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe explained on Saturday that he hoped Isaac would stay with the club, saying, “I was noticed yesterday in a bid and said it was turned down.
“The British people are dealing with the situation. They don’t know what will happen next. From our perspective, they support Alex in all respects.
“My wish is that he’s wearing a Newcastle shirt again. I know where he’s really, through the media. From that perspective, it’s difficult to go all kinds of details. The situation is far from ideal and very complicated.
“In terms of trying to confuse players, from my point of view, we can only talk about our actions. We try to do things the right way.
“Signing is always complicated. We’re trying to do what we think is right. We can’t talk about other clubs. We can’t say anything.”
