The Post's chief football reporter Craig Hope has been at the forefront of the report, reporting key stories about Isaac being dissatisfied with Newcastle and Liverpool's interest in Isaac. With unparalleled access and insight, he explained the reasons for the developments and the importance of Newcastle's failure to find a replacement, which is as critical as Liverpool's willingness to pay record transfer fees.
He said: Newcastle still needs a striker to replace Callum Wilson. But if they really sign Visa, Larson or other unmentioned players, or reactivate a previous deal, such as Jackson, and Liverpool once again puts forward a high offer that could exceed 120 million or 130 million pounds, will Newcastle consider it?
The wording in the club statement last night was almost inviting such a offer, at least leaving a door for this possibility, and they said the conditions for sale were not met.
Suppose Liverpool suddenly says tomorrow, OK, we will pay £500 million. Newcastle will definitely sell. Of course this won't happen, but I mean every player has a tipping point in every club.
Even if Newcastle now says Isaac will not go anywhere, what would Newcastle do if Liverpool made an amazing offer of more than £150 million? They will have to make a decision.
Therefore, regarding the question of Liverpool fans, does Isaac still have a chance to join Liverpool? The answer is yes, and this is still possible. Considering that there are 11 days left, who knows what will happen? I totally expect new progress in the process!
