Why would Liverpool sign Alexander Isak when they’ve already got Darwin Nunez? And is there a way back for the Swede in a dressing room of ‘disgusted’ teammates?

Newcastle United has officially turned down a formal offer from Liverpool for their centre-forward Alexander Isak, according to the reports from The Athletic.

Liverpool will not lodge a second bid for Alexander Isak after their initial offer of £120million was rejected by Newcastle. The Premier League champions were keen on landing the Swedish centre-forward despite splashing £69m on Hugo Ekitike, whom they beat Newcastle to the signing of last month.
