According to the British media Daily Telegraph, it would take much more than 150 million pounds to sign Isaac, and rumors about Liverpool and Isaac have been greatly exaggerated.
Rumors about Isaac's possible in the summer window will always happen. In the past 48 hours, rumors of Isaac being about to join Liverpool have broken out, including: Liverpool is about to take action, an astonishing world record offer, Isaac is eager to transfer, his agent is already finalizing personal terms, Isaac has talked with his future teammates and Slot. The two sides have been contacted, private negotiations are in progress, Newcastle is powerless, and the players will ask to leave the team...
After communicating with sources, the Telegraph said that the situation has not changed and no agreement is about to be reached. According to several Newcastle sources, Liverpool did not contact them about Isaac. No formal or informal discussions have been conducted, or even inquiries have been conducted.
Newcastle's position has not changed either. It will take a far higher offer than £150 million before Newcastle will start negotiations with the interested club. It's not just a new UK transfer fee record, but a world record of 200 million pounds paid by Paris to sign Neymar from Barcelona.
Newcastle doesn't want to sell, Newcastle doesn't need to sell, Newcastle won't sell. With three years left in Isaac's contract, the club still has a lot of initiative.
Isaac did not say that he wanted to leave, he never inspires him for this, and he never even hinted to his teammates about his willingness to leave the team. Those who know Isaac don't think he will suddenly ask to leave the team. As for this transfer window, the possibility of it happening is slim.
If Isaac does not sign a new contract, things may be different in 12 months, when Newcastle will realize the need to maximize any transfer fees that may be earned, but for the moment, they have no pressure or concerns.
Even if they really get to the point where they have to consider selling, they are likely to negotiate with foreign clubs rather than any domestic competitor.
If Liverpool can sell Nunes and Louis Dias in the coming weeks, maybe they can free up funds to test Newcastle's determination with a real offer, but that determination will not be easily shaken. But Isaac is non-selling, and Newcastle has no pressure to sell anyone in terms of profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
Newcastle's intention is to retain their entire core player roster and add strength to it.
