The 25-year-old did not travel with the squad on their Asian tour and was instead in Spain, where he trained at the facilities of his former club Real Sociedad. An injury was officially cited as the reason for his absence.
He is pushing for a move to Liverpool, but the Reds’ first bid was rejected. According to Sky Sports, Liverpool’s opening offer was £110 million plus additional bonuses.
Newcastle are unwilling to sell Isak, but the club’s board could reconsider if an offer of £150 million is received. A potential transfer to Anfield may also hinge on whether Newcastle can reach an agreement with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko.
