In a recent segment with beIN SPORTS, football presenter Richard Keys revealed that Real Madrid are in the mix to sign Newcastle United centre-forward Alexander Isak. Keys said, “I heard today that Liverpool have made a bid of £110m…a second offer of £80m now and £60m next season. But I’ve also heard that Real Madrid might be in the frame.”

Alexander Isak has been defender by his national team coach who said 'Alex is a great guy and very professional' despite him going on strike.

Alexander Isak remains unavailable for selection for Newcastle heading into the start of the Premier League season amid ongoing uncertainty over the Sweden striker's future at the club.

Waugh: Howe was afforded an extension under Dan Ashworth during the summer of 2022 and, in secret, he was given another deal the following off-season. That was only revealed in July last year by Eales when he was asked directly by The Athletic during a video call with reporters.

With Arne Slot having already delivered silverware and a winning start to the new season, adding a player of Isak’s calibre would further underline Liverpool’s ambition to remain at the summit of English football. For now, the saga rests in Newcastle’s hands, and Liverpool can only bide their time.

Alexander Isak was left out of Newcastle’s squad for its opening game of the Premier League season at Aston Villa on Saturday. The 25-year-old Sweden striker is at odds with the club as he tries to push for a move to defending champion Liverpool.

Newcastle is preparing an 80 million signing to replace Isak and strengthen its attack ahead of the Premier League.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has been asked about claims that Alexander Isak told him he wanted to leave the club a fortnight before the end of the season
