Liverpool have devised a new £165million plan to sign Alexander Isak this summer. The Reds confirmed their interest in the Newcastle striker earlier this month, expressing a willingness to open talks over a deal for around £120m. Newcastle promptly told them that Isak is not for sale.

Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has issued a strong stance on Alexander Isak as the Sweden star's summer transfer saga drags on. Crucially, Howe confirmed to Chronicle Live that there had still not been a formal offer from Liverpool but the player remains back in the UK.

Isak helped Newcastle United return to Champions League play and win the EFL Cup while scoring 27 goals and assisting six more in all competitions last season, and that would be a massive addition anywhere that he would potentially land if he does leave the club.

If any club has the funds to pull off this deal, it is Al Hilal. Not only are they one of the four clubs owned by Saudi Arabia’s Private Investment Fund (PIF), but they also benefit from the support of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who can help underwrite exceptional deals such as this one.

Newcastle are preparing for a substantial bid from Liverpool for Alexander Isak, after Luiz Diaz's switch to Bayern Munich.
