I feel that Liverpool are more likely to win the race for the Frenchman because they have already started their readiness to line up the £86.6m (€100m) that his club requested for as against the bid of £70m that Newcastle offered which was rejected. If all goes well, he may be the second tip signing that Liverpool have made in the Bundesliga since they procured the services of Florian wirtz for €116m.
 Liverpool are not looking to back down even when their offer for Isak wasn't met with a positive response and with the fact that Hugo has expressed interest to play at Liverpool, I guess that makes it an added bonus for the club.
