Liverpool have failed with an opening bid for wantaway Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
The Athletic report the Merseysiders followed up an informal enquiry with a formal offer which has been rejected by Newcastle.
Isak is currently training on his own at former club Real Sociedad while Newcastle are on a pre-season tour of the Far East.
Isak not interested in extending Newcastle stay
Isak has scored 54 goals in 86 Premier League games since moving to Newcastle from Sociedad in August 2022, establishing himself as one of the top-flight’s elite centre-forwards.
He has three years left on his contract and The Athletic report the club have tried to persuade him to sign a new deal that contains a release clause for next summer.
However, the Sweden international has made it clear he wishes to leave and join Liverpool instead.
