'A damaged relationship' - how Isak saga could unfoldPublished1 AugustBBC Sport reported in July how Liverpool were considering a deal for Isak worth up to ￡130m.Newcastle have maintained he is not for sale this summer, but that has not prevented Arne Slot's side from taking a major interest.The Premier League champions made an approach to Newcastle last month before lodging an official bid.Boss Slot has already made a number of additions to his squad during a heavy summer of spending by the Anfield club.They have signed Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi for a combined total of about ￡265m without add-ons.Meanwhile, the departures of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher and Trent Alexander-Arnold have recouped an initial ￡115m.Timeline of Isak transfer saga 25 May 2025 - Alexander Isak finishes 2024-25 season as Newcastle's top scorer with 27 goals in 42 appearances19 July 2025 - Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says Isak will "absolutely" be on the club's pre-season tour of the far-east after the Swede missed a 4-0 friendly defeat by Celtic with a thigh injury23 July 2025 - Liverpool sign striker Hugo Ekitike in ￡69m deal from Eintracht Frankfurt24 July 2025 - Isak is left out of Newcastle's squad for their pre-season tour with a "minor thigh injury"24 July 2025 - Isak expresses desire to explore move away from Newcastle28 July 2025 - Sources tell BBC Sport that Liverpool remain keen on signing Isak, despite the arrival of Ekitike29 July 2025 - Howe says Newcastle are yet to receive any offers for Isak31 July 2025 - Isak trains alone at former club Real Sociedad1 August 2025 - Newcastle reject Liverpool's opening offer for the Sweden international and the Reds could be ready not to pursue their interestRelated topicsLiverpoolPremier LeagueNewcastle UnitedFootballMore on this storyLatest Newcastle news, analysis and fan viewsGet Newcastle news sent straight to your phonePublished26 July 2022Comments can not be loadedTo load Comments you need to enable JavaScript in your browserView comments | 4199
