According to the Mirror, although Isaac has expressed his willingness to leave the team to Newcastle, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have ruled out the possibility of introducing him.
Swedish striker Isaac has expressed his willingness to leave the team to Newcastle, and Liverpool may sign him at a UK transfer record. Isaac did not go to Singapore for preseason with the team, and the club said it was due to his thigh injury. However, it is understood that Isaac took the initiative to not travel with the team because he wanted to stay in England. He also did not play in a friendly match against the Celtics on Saturday.
Liverpool has been interested in Isaac and is now considering making a new offer after the initial inquiry was rejected about ten days ago. Although the Reds have spent nearly £300 million this summer to bring in new players, they may need to sell some players first if they want to make an official offer for Isaac. Bayern hopes to get Louis Diaz, while Nunes, Elliott, Chiesa and Morton may also be potential candidates for leaving the team.
Riyadh Crescent is also pursuing Isaac and is willing to provide him with a contract of up to £500,000 per week (including bonus). Earlier this year, Arsenal had listed Isaac as the top pick for summer signings, but as Newcastle qualifies for the Champions League, the Gunners believed that signing Isaac was unlikely and instead began looking for other targets.
At present, Arsenal is finalizing a deal to sign Yorke from Portugal Sports, and the 27-year-old Swedish international is expected to undergo a medical examination and sign a five-year contract in the next few days.
Manchester United have ruled out the possibility of introducing Isaac, and although Chelsea asked about Isaac last summer, their priority is Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simmons and Ajax defender Harto. Sources at Stamford Bridge said they did not intend to take action despite their appreciation for Isaac.
Although Newcastle still wants to keep Isaac, his sudden request for leaving could force the club to make a decision, with Newcastle estimating the former Real Sociedad at about £150 million.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is still negotiating with Brentford for £40 million striker Visa. Eddie Howe's interest in Visa has nothing to do with Isaac's future, and Newcastle has submitted a preliminary offer of about £25 million for the striker, but has been rejected. It is reported that Newcastle has begun looking for other strikers in case Isaac eventually leaves the team.
