Liverpool are closing in on a move for Alexander Isak. The Reds made their first bid for the Swedish international on Friday afternoon. This bid was firmly rejected however while at this moment in time Liverpool don't plan to bid again, the Reds are still highly likely to sign Isak by the end of the window. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range from 9am TODAY Shop the LFC Store LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! That's because Newcastle's star forward has made it clear he wants to leave the club. Not only that but he wants to join Liverpool. This is why Isak did not travel to Asia for Newcastle's pre-season tour and had instead trained in Spain, away from the club's facilities. It's very clear that the Swede wants to join Liverpool and the Reds would like to sign him. This has been reiterated by a Swedish football expert, who exclusively told Anfield Watch he believes Isak will end up at Anfield. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range from 9am TODAY Speaking exclusively on Anfield Watch's YouTube channel, Journalist and Swedish football expert Maxi Angelo explained that he believes the Reds are closing in on securing a transfer for Isak, and that he is confident that the Swede will end-up signing for the club: "I do believe so [that Isak will end-up at Liverpool]," Angelo said. "I think from what I've been able to read and hear it, it feels like Alexander Isak as far as the relationship between Isak and Newcastle, it's at least reaching a point of no return. I think it says quite a lot that he's not even training at the Newcastle facilities. "I don't see why he wouldn't do that unless something's off. Even though he's not in Asia for the pre-season tour, he could still train at the Newcastle facilities to rehabilitate from an injury. But he's not and I think that's quite telling. "As far as a percentage goes, I would say maybe 60% or 70% [how likely it is at this stage]. That's just my gut feeling. I think it's getting more and more advanced each day."

Report Jashari ready to demand Milan transfer in Brugge crisis meeting
Ardon Jashari will reportedly demand Club Brugge release him to Milan this weekend, refusing to accept higher offers from Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen or Neom. The player has made it very clear he wants to join the Rossoneri, a team he has supported since visiting San Siro as a child to watch them in action. He was left out of the squad for today's opening game of the season, but was placed into their European list. Jashari ready to break with Club Brugge BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND – MARCH 12: Ardon Jashari of Club Brugge KV warms up prior to the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg match between Aston Villa FC and Club Brugge KV at Villa Park on March 12, 2025 in Birmingham, England. (Photo by) According to Sky Sport Italia, Jashari has decided to take matters into his own hands and will confront Club Brugge chiefs in a crisis meeting over the weekend. He intends to demand a sale to Milan, who believe their offer worth €33.5m plus add-ons was entirely sufficient, especially as his agents maintain Brugge promised to sell if someone came in with a bid of €32.5m. Crucially, the Switzerland international will also warn that he has no intention of accepting any other club, even if Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen and Saudi side Neom are ready to offer more money.
