Widely reported on Tuesday, the Premier League champions have confirmed with Newcastle their interest in signing Isak as they look to discuss a deal for around £120million. That would top the £116m deal which saw Florian Wirtz move to Anfield earlier this summer.

Alexander Isak reported back to Newcastle United for pre-season training on Monday afternoon as speculation surrounding his future on Tyneside continues. The 25-year-old was one of several players handed an extended summer break after the Premier League season finished at the end of May.
