Not acceptable - Liverpool and Newcastle £30 million apart in Isak valuation

The striker has reportedly expressed his desire to join the Merseyside club, who are preparing a substantial offer.

Last season in the Premier League, Isak played 34 matches, scoring 23 goals and providing 6 assists.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, via Sportal, Liverpool is ready to offer the Swedish international a five-year contract.

The club intends to open negotiations with Newcastle to gauge their conditions. Liverpool's initial offer is expected to be around £100 million.

Anfield officials understand Newcastle's £150 million valuation but believe they can finalise a deal closer to £120 million, including performance-based bonuses.

Representatives from both clubs are expected to meet within the next two days and resume negotiations on a transfer fee.
