According to the Ass, Isaac's future in Newcastle is full of uncertainty. According to the Daily Mail, Isaac has expressed his willingness to leave the team this summer to the senior management of Newcastle. Liverpool has a strong interest in the player, and the possibility of Liverpool signing Isaac is greatly increased with Nunez's possible departure and Louis Dias (who has finalized transfer to Bayern) coming to a close.
Isaac did not go to Asia with Newcastle for a preseason tour, which triggered various speculations from the outside world. For head coach Eddie Howe, this has become a tough problem. "This situation is not easy for anyone, and for obvious reasons, Isaac and the club, or the conversation with me will remain private."
"We hope he can continue his career in Newcastle, and I hope he stays. And I said, I believe he will stay. At the moment I don't think anything can change my mind, but that's football, who knows what the future will be. The board needs to make a decision."
Isaac tends to stay in the Premier League. Although Riyadh Crescent has offered him a generous contract offer, he does not want to go to the Saudi league for the moment. Coincidentally, Liverpool striker Nunez is a Saudi side's alternative in the center position and will open the door to Anfield for Isaac if he heads to Riyadh Crescent.
However, for Liverpool, the deal will never be cheap. Newcastle has been priced at Isaac’s transfer fee above 100 million euros, but if Liverpool sells Louis Diaz and Nunez, this could cover part of Isaac’s transfer cost.
Newcastle urgently needs to solve the striker problem because the team will compete in the Champions League in the new season. If Isaac leaves, they must find a replacement quickly, and Leipzig's Sesco becomes a strong contender. In addition, Isaac's entry into the transfer market is not good news for Real Madrid.
At first, Liverpool signed Ekitic as a countermeasure after learning that Newcastle refused to negotiate. Then came the departure of Louis Diaz, which made the Reds consider Rodrigo. Now, with the possibility of signing with Isaac, Liverpool's priority has changed, and Rodrigo is no longer on their roster.
