According to the British media Times, Isaac rejected Newcastle's contract with a weekly salary of £200,000. He is seeking a transfer plan, hoping to get a contract with a weekly salary of £300,000.
The Times said that due to Liverpool's interest, Newcastle planned to renew his contract with Isaac with the highest salary in team history, but the negotiations have not been successful so far. It is reported that Isaac hopes to get a contract with a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds.
Isaac missed Newcastle's Asian tour and wanted to evaluate his transfer options. Currently, Newcastle's maximum-salary players Guimarães, Gordon and Tonali have only a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds. Newcastle is willing to provide Isaac with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds. No matter how high the offer is, it will violate the Premier League financial rules.
Although Newcastle insists that Isaac is a non-sale product and has not received a formal offer, relevant transfer negotiations are underway. According to the Times last month, Liverpool has prepared a transfer plan of £130 million, while Saudi United team Riyadh has prepared a sky-high contract with a weekly salary of £500,000. It is reported that Isaac is more willing to maintain the top competitive level at this stage, so the possibility of transfer to Liverpool is greater than that of Saudi Arabia.
