Newcastle United and Alexander Isak seem to have reached an impasse. With the striker having made his intentions to leave the club clear, the Swedish forward is expected to miss out on the league opener against Aston Villa.

According to a report by The Athletic, he has no intention of playing for Newcastle United again. Having been training away from the squad, Isak regards his career at St James’s Park as finished and has no desire to reintegrate into the squad.

As per reports, Liverpool made an offer of $148 million (Rs 1301 crore), but their approach was instantly turned down by Newcastle who are said to be looking for close to $200 million (Rs 1752 crore).
