Transferna pijaca: Liverpool i dalje zainteresovan za Isaka, ali oprezni u pristupu
As the transfer window reaches its final, decisive days, the future of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is once again in the spotlight. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Liverpool remain interested in the Swedish forward but are treading cautiously in their approach, wary of pushing negotiations into unrealistic financial territory. Liverpool made headlines earlier this month with a £110 million offer for Isak, which Jacobs notes was structured entirely as a fixed fee. That would have been a British-record outright transfer sum, but Newcastle rejected it almost immediately and emphatically. From Liverpool’s perspective, the offer was far from a lowball attempt. Instead, they saw it as a serious statement of intent, especially given the structure of the deal with no add-ons. Since that rejection, Liverpool have maintained their stance of “no new bid” unless a clear pathway to a deal emerges. At this stage of the window, Jacobs explains that “encouragement” means more than just being invited back to the table; it requires genuine signs that Newcastle are willing to engage on terms that could realistically lead to an agreement. Liverpool would be prepared to return with an offer in the region of £120 million. However, talk of a £150 million fee has never been taken seriously at Anfield. Jacobs stresses that Liverpool view such figures as market-distorting and dangerous for their long-term strategy in player recruitment. On Newcastle’s side, the situation remains delicate. The Magpies are already exploring striker options, with Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen under consideration as potential replacements for Callum Wilson. Several other names are also being looked at, underscoring the uncertainty around Isak’s future. For much of the summer, Newcastle have felt that keeping Isak without securing a new contract would be an unsustainable position. Despite this, the club remain open to offering him fresh terms should he choose to reintegrate and commit to the project.

što se tiče transfernog roka, budućnost napadača Newcastle Uniteda Alexandra Isaka ponovo je u centru pažnje. Prema novinaru Benu Jacobsu, Liverpool i dalje pokazuje interes za ovog švedskog napadača, ali pristupa oprezno, oprezan da ne gura pregovore u nerealnu finansijsku teritoriju. Liverpool je napravio naslove ranije ovog mjeseca s ponudom od 110 miliona funti za Isaka, koju je Jacobs primijetio da je strukturirana kao fiksna naknada. To bi bila apsolutna rekordna suma transfera u Britaniji, ali Newcastle ju je gotovo odmah i snažno odbio. Iz Liverpulovog ugla, ponuda nije bila ni blizu pokušaja spuštanja cijene. Umjesto toga, oni su to vidjeli kao ozbiljnu izjavu namjere, posebno s obzirom na strukturu dogovora bez dodatnih opcija. Od trenutka odbijanja, Liverpool je zadržao svoj stav da neće biti “novih ponuda” osim ako se ne pojavi jasan put ka dogovoru. U ovom trenutku prozora, Jacobs objašnjava da “ohrabrenje” znači više od toga da budete pozvani nazad na sto; to zahtijeva stvarne znakove da je Newcastle voljan pregovarati po uslovima koji bi realno mogli dovesti do sporazuma. Liverpool bi bio spreman vratiti se s ponudom u regiji od 120 miliona funti. Međutim, razgovori o naknadi od 150 miliona funti nikada nisu shvaćeni ozbiljno na Anfieldu. Jacobs naglašava da Liverpool takve cifre smatra tržišno iskrivljujućim i opasnim za njihovu dugoročnu strategiju u regrutovanju igrača. Sa strane Newcastlea, situacija ostaje delikatna. Čaplje već istražuju opcije napadača, a Yoane Wissa i Jorgen Strand Larsen razmatraju se kao potencijalne zamjene za Calluma Wilsona. Također se razmatra nekoliko drugih imena, što ističe neizvjesnost oko Isakove budućnosti. Veći dio ljeta, Newcastle je osjećao da zadržavanje Isaka bez osiguravanja novog ugovora ne bi bio održiv položaj. Ipak, klub je otvoren za ponudu novih uslova ukoliko se odluči da se ponovo integriše i posveti projektu. Izvještaj: Odlazak iz Liverpula još uvijek moguć za “pouzdanog” zvijezdu s u tijeku razgovorima.
