It seems they are not satisfied with the arrival of several expensive players who have already been recruited and still want Isak to be in their squad, even though Ekitike is already flexible enough for now.

However, despite the ongoing rumors, it seems that the root of the issue will ultimately return to Newcastle, as I observe that Newcastle still does not want to release Isak so easily, even though we know that Liverpool had previously attempted to bid for Isak at a high price.

On the other hand, if Isak were to join Anfield, it could bring significant benefits for Liverpool, especially since Isak's role could be quite complex in terms of position, as he can act as both a target man and a winger, making him highly flexible. However, I am a bit skeptical about whether Liverpool will ultimately be able to secure Isak for this season.
