Isak wants to leave but Newcastle are still trying to keep him in the team, that's why they're requesting for a huge fee that would keep buyers off, they'll try to keep him in the team for one more season before finding a suitable replacement but then it seems Isak is eager to leave and experience a new environment, well anything can happen in the late days of the transfer window, for now Isak still remains Newcastle's player. That's one thing Arsenal fans expecially can't wait for, their key target in this transfer window and likely to be the best signing for Arsenal this summer.
Isak would be way too much for Liverpool, that is my issue. I understand they want to grow and be better. However, Newcastle is not doing a good job by forcing him to stay as well. There aren't any changes for the time but Liverpool shouldn't get Isaak, and Newcastle should sell him to somewhere who wants him anyways.
Liverpool at the time already spent 300+ and they already got a ton of return but if they also get Isaak, then it would not be a ton of improvement at all. What we are facing right now is Liverpool getting too close to the sun. If they end up with too much more money spent then it would not be good at all for them, if they are dealing with it then it is not going to be financially sound. They need success, if they fail to win the league, then they will be screwed financially.
