Owners step in as Liverpool ready RECORD-BREAKING bid
Liverpool have prepared a club-record bid for Alexander Isak. It's one that will almost certainly break the British transfer record, too.
That's the level of faith the Reds have in Isak. They believe he can be the long-term answer to their centre-forward position and someone who can complement the current crop of stars to perfection.

Diogo Jota: Thank you
Isak was quite comfortably the best striker in the Premier League last season and one of the absolute best in Europe. Few, if any, matched his all-around game going forward.
That Liverpool want him isn't a surprise, nor is the amount of money they'd be willing to pay in order to secure the transfer.
The real question, then, is whether Isak is even available. And that's entirely down to Newcastle United.
Newcastle owners step in
GiveMeSport claims Newcastle's ownership have now stepped in to prevent any sale of Isak. This comes after a week of constant speculation, largely fuelled by the Swede not joining the squad on their pre-season tour.
In fact, Isak isn't with Newcastle at all right now. He's in Spain, training at Real Sociedad's facilities.
Reports everywhere claim Isak wants to move to Liverpool and has made it clear to Newcastle. It's an attempt to force their hand, essentially, making the club value the transfer fee more than having a disgruntled player.
But it appears that hasn't worked. The ownership at Newcastle see no reason to take the money and don't want to lose Isak.

New food store could open in building near Bradford City's grounds
A BUILDING in the shadow of Bradford City's Valley Parade ground could become a food store and butcher's if new plans are approved. The former Dewhirst Coaches building on Thornciffe Road has been vacant since the transport company shut several years ago. The new planning application would see the building converted into retail use, and says the development would create jobs as well as boost the local economy. The plans have recently been submitted to Bradford Council by Shanjid Ali. As well as the change of use of the shop, the application calls for a new canopy on the existing building, illuminated signage and three external refrigerated units. The building is just yards from Bradford City's ground and the area is often heaving with football fans on matchdays. The application says: 'The site comprises a substantial open yard that facilitated turning circles and manoeuvring for large vehicles. 'The building's former use as a storage facility makes it inherently suitable for commercial retail. 'Currently many vehicles are parked within the site from the previous use and will be removed if planning is granted.' Referring to the new retail use, the application says: 'The premises will cater to walk-in customers and local suppliers, offering chilled, frozen, and ambient food goods. 'The retail premises will operate seven days a week, between 9am and 8pm. The business will employ seven full-time members of staff. 'This (application) represents a direct contribution to the local economy and introduces employment opportunities to an otherwise inactive commercial site. 'By reintroducing viable uses to a currently underutilised site, the redevelopment will support economic regeneration.' The proposed store would have 16 parking spaces. A decision on the application is expected next month. Earlier this year an application for another major scheme on the same road – opposite the site of the food store plan – was approved by Bradford Council. Cake Box, a food company that has a base on Thorncliffe Road, had applied for permission to build new warehouse space on land next to its Manningham base. The site was the former home of Adams Fast Food Supplies until that building was destroyed in a blaze caused by a faulty electric appliance in 2021. The application for the warehouse said the company's expansion would be 'a significant capital investment in the area to secure the long-term future from an established company that is looking to expand its operation". Planners approved that application this Spring.
