Newcastle are braced for a second offer from Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak after rejecting first bid.
Reports states that Liverpool’s opening offer was £110m plus add-ons. However, the total offer did not reach £120m.
Newcastle do not want to sell, and value Isak at £150m.
The Sweden international is training alone at his former club Real Sociedad’s training facilities amid uncertainty over his Newcastle future.
It is understood Newcastle are aware of Isak’s whereabouts as he recovers from the “minor thigh injury” that the club say has kept him from travelling to Singapore for their pre-season tour, with the player expected back in the north east next week.
The 25-year-old has informed Newcastle that he wants to explore his options in this transfer window after Liverpool previously made an informal approach for him.
