The striker remains in exile, and a resolution could finally be reached in the final week of the transfer window

Liverpool will visit Newcastle United on Monday night amid a juicy transfer saga involving the Reds trying to pry striker Alexander Isak away from the Magpies. Newcastle so far have rebuffed the efforts of Liverpool.

Liverpool had a huge offer of £110-million (R2.6-billion) to buy striker Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle earlier this month, because the latter hadn’t got a replacement. Isak, keen to move, used harsh words on social media about his employer; Newcastle responded with defiance.
