“Newcastle tried to negotiate the extension earlier this week, but Isak had no intention of signing a contract and wanted to join Liverpool,” coach Hoewe also provided updated information about Isak's situation on Friday, before the friendly match against Espanyol.
“It was obvious that I couldn't let him join the team at this time. He practiced later than the other members of the team.
He is here, so of course he has a future in Newcastle. In our point of view, we really want him to return to the team, but the situation must be appropriate to happen, “the British strategist added.
On the Liverpool side, the Premier League champion is said to be ready to send a more attractive offer to Isak, but still waiting for Newcastle to allow negotiations. Newcastle tried to recruit a new striker and a potential player to replace Isak, but undergo a disaster summer transfer.
