Newcastle insist Alexander Isak not for sale amid Liverpool interest in star man

Liverpool have not given up hope of prising striker Alexander Isak away from Newcastle, despite the Magpies’ insistence he is not for sale.

A report on Tuesday suggested the Reds are prepared to pay £120million for the 25-year-old Sweden international, who has been a huge hit at St James’ Park since his £63million arrival from Real Sociedad during the summer of 2022.

The PA news agency understands there has been no formal contact between the two clubs over a player who is the subject of long-standing interest from Anfield.
