Liverpool are ready to go back in for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, after their previous attempts so far have been unsuccessful.
Liverpool have not given up on the pursuit of Alexander Isak and have accepted a club-record offer.

The Newcastle United striker is Liverpool’s top target, but the “Magpies” have resisted the advances of the Premier League champions, despite the fact that their talisman does not train, refuses to play and wants to leave.
Liverpool had a £110m bid rejected for Isak, and Newcastle have regularly communicated that he is not for sale.
But the saga is not yet over, and The Sun claims that they are still confident that Newcastle will eventually give way and sell the Swede for a British record of £130 million.
After drawing 0-0 in their Premier League opener against Aston Villa, Newcastle host Liverpool at St James’ Park in what is sure to be a special first home game of the season given the situation.
There will probably be a lot of talk about Isak, whose name was sung in negative ways by the away supporters on Saturday afternoon.
However, it is said that there will be no official approach until after the fight has taken place on Monday.
Liverpool still want Isak and Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi
Liverpool still want Isak and Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, whose contract expires next summer.
After watching Ibrahima Konate’s shaky performance against Bournemouth, the Reds are willing to pay £35 million for the England defender, and a double coup for Guehi and Isak would bring their summer spending to a staggering £466 million.
Isak has been training alone amid his clash with Newcastle and is likely to be fined for failing to play in the draw against Villa.
Fabrizio Romano reveals Liverpool’s latest news on Isak
According to Fabrizio Romano, the former Real Sociedad striker turned down a lucrative new contract offer from Newcastle that included a buyout clause in 2026.
If Newcastle give the slightest indication that they might be willing to negotiate, Liverpool will be ready for a second bid that they hope will secure Isak’s services.
In a post on his YouTube channel, Romano stated: “What is Liverpool’s position? Very quiet, very calm, but doesn’t sleep on this one. Liverpool are ready to bid again for Isak.

“Liverpool, if Newcastle open their doors, will be very ready with a new proposal. Forget that Liverpool are not bidding, they will be very clear, they are very ready, and this is very clear.
“Liverpool have not contacted any other striker as of today, so if that changes tonight or tomorrow, I will let you know, but Liverpool did not approach any other striker, only Alexander Isak.
“The focus is very clear, waiting to see what happens with Newcastle, but the player is very clear, the club is very ready, so we’re just waiting to be together as soon as possible.”
