Newcastle reject Liverpool’s first offer for Isak

Newcastle have rejected Liverpool’s initial bid for forward Alexander Isak, as the Magpies hold firm on their high valuation of the player.

The Premier League champions’ proposal is in the region of £120 million ($157.9 million), The Athletic reports. The 25-year-old, seeking fresh challenges, has been training with his former club, Real Sociedad, while Eddie Howe’s Newcastle squad tours South Korea for pre-season.
