Alexander Isak and Newcastle United both released their own statements on Tuesday evening, as Liverpool still hope to successfully complete the complex transfer saga of the summer

Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle United has become one of the defining sagas of this transfer window. The Swedish striker has openly admitted that promises made by the club have been “broken” and that “the relationship can’t continue” as he looks for a way out.

Newcastle have maintained publicly that Isak isn't for sale, but Liverpool know they are looking for two strikers for a reason. When - or perhaps if - Newcastle do, Liverpool are expected to ramp up their interest with another bid. Sources say the next offer will be a minimum £120m. At the moment, though, it's a waiting game.
