Newcastle United could reportedly bid to sign Inter star Francesco Pio Esposito if Alexander Isak gate crashes his way out of St. James' Park to Liverpool. The Merseyside club are preparing to crank up the pressure on the Magpies with an eye-watering £130 million offer for Isak. The Reds already had a colossal £110m bid thrown back at them earlier this summer, but they are convinced that upping the ante will finally do the job.

Alexander Isak's compatriot Robin Nelson says he stands by the Newcastle forward after he made his spat with the Magpies public with a bombshell statement on Tuesday. Isak claimed in his long rant that his relationship with the Magpies is over as his stand-off with them continues regarding a possible transfer to Liverpool this summer. Isak is no longer part of Eddie Howe's first team and his training alone.

Alan Shearer has told Alexander Isak to sack his agent after the wantaway Newcastle striker's "nonsensical" statement about "broken promises".

Refusing to play or train can often help a wantaway footballer force through a transfer - but it doesn't always work out that way...

Liverpool will reportedly table a mega new Alexander Isak transfer bid, with the Newcastle striker having been frozen out by manager Eddie Howe. After an initial offer of £110 million ($149m) was rejected earlier in the transfer window, Liverpool are ready to return with an even bigger bid of £130m ($176m) after their Premier League showdown against Newcastle at St. James’ Park on Monday.
