Widely reported on Tuesday, the Premier League champions have confirmed with Newcastle their interest in signing Isak as they look to discuss a deal for around £120million. That would top the £116m deal which saw Florian Wirtz move to Anfield earlier this summer.

Alexander Isak reported back to Newcastle United for pre-season training on Monday afternoon as speculation surrounding his future on Tyneside continues. The 25-year-old was one of several players handed an extended summer break after the Premier League season finished at the end of May.

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has claimed he "can't see" Newcastle allowing Alexander Isak to move to Anfield this summer despite the Reds' interest.
