Massive Alexander Isak to Liverpool development just HOURS away

Liverpool want Alexander Isak and a major development is just hours away. The Reds want to make this happen.

It's no secret that Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. Newcastle just don't want to sell their star player - not even for a British transfer record.

Diogo Jota: Thank you

The Magpies may be forced to do so, however. Isak is reportedly pushing for an exit, with Liverpool his preferred destination.

He's an incredibly valuable player and one Newcastle can't really afford to mess around with. Cashing in at that extraordinarily high price may simply be the best way to go about things.

Liverpool certainly hope that's the direction Newcastle go in. Isak does, too. Everyone is waiting to see what the Magpies do - and we should get an answer very soon.

Alexander Isak development expected

Sacha Tavolieri tells Sky Sports that Liverpool will contact Newcastle in the next few hours to tell them a written offer is on its way. This is essentially the Reds preparing for talks.

In other words, they're hoping to negotiate. Liverpool's first offer will supposedly be at around £100m. That would equal what they spent on Florian Wirtz this summer but we can't imagine Newcastle will accept.

Instead, it's an offer to begin proper talks - something Newcastle either reject outright or give a counter to. The suggestion is that Liverpool hope to land at around £120m through some sort of package.

The £100m would almost certainly be given guaranteed, honestly. Then the rest can go through add-ons - but how that's structured is likely to be key.

All in all, though, things are starting to move ahead of the Premier League kick-off. Newcastle can't afford for this one to drag out as they'll need to replace their star, something that would be very difficult at the end of the window.

Today could be a big one, then. Liverpool want Isak. Isak wants Liverpool. Now let's see whether Newcastle prefer Isak or the money.

Rest in peace, Diogo Jota.
