Liverpool are preparing a bid worth over £130 million ($175m) for Alexander Isak as they attempt to finally sign the Newcastle striker this summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

PerTBR Football, Liverpool are preparing a bid worth in excess of £130m for Isak, with the package potentially reaching £140m ($188m) when add-ons are included. Newcastle remain insistent that they will not sell Isak, and have consistently demanded a fee worth £150m, but the Reds are adamant they will not go that high.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Isak remains keen to move to Liverpool and has told Newcastle that he wants to make the switch to Anfield before the transfer deadline next week. Newcastle are steadfast in their refusal to accept bids below their valuation, and they are also busy working on potential arrivals themselves, after seeing a £50m ($67m) offer rejected for Wolves' Jacob Strand Larsen. They are also interested in Yoane Wissa at Brentford. 

DID YOU KNOW?

Isak has not played for Newcastle this season and the club are braced for Liverpool to up their offer. It is unclear if a new bid that remains below their £150m asking price will be considered, however.

WHAT NEXT?
