Isaac's application for a transfer from Newcastle has caused heated discussions in the new round of transfer window. According to the Independent, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe had previously expressed concerns about Isaac's situation.
It is reported that Eddie Howe had privately told an important figure in Newcastle this summer, saying he was worried about Isaac's situation. In the end, this concern was confirmed, and Isaac took the initiative to apply to Newcastle to leave the team and refused to participate in the preseason.
However, Newcastle's position remains unchanged, that is, Isaac is regarded as a non-sale product, and his contract has three years left, which further consolidates Newcastle's position. There are currently no ongoing contract renewal negotiations between the two sides.
But the Independent pointed out that a quotation of around £150 million may test Newcastle, especially if the player has been told that the player wants to leave.
However, the biggest question is, where does such a big quotation come from? The Independent said that only about eight clubs can afford such a offer, but few clubs can achieve this transfer while meeting Premier League financial rules.
Liverpool does have some financial space, but they want to ensure a sustainable roster and a controllable salary expenditure. In addition, the transfer to sell Dias to Bayern has not yet been reached.
The Independent said that Liverpool's current position is that they are satisfied with the center's configuration and believe that new player Ekitic is their No. 9 player, but the possibility of introducing Isaac has not been ruled out.
