According to the British media Guardian, Liverpool is currently interested in introducing Isaac at a high price. Although Newcastle still insists that the players are not selling products, the subsequent development is still worth paying attention to.

The article said that ideally Newcastle hopes to retain Isaac and introduce Ekitic. Eddie Howe hopes to allow the two to form an offensive partner in the new season, but since Liverpool has also been in touch with Frankfurt and the Reds seem to be determined to introduce one of these two, Eddie Howe's idea may be unlikely to come true.

It is worth mentioning that there has been rumors that Isaac will negotiate a contract renewal with Newcastle this summer, but now there is no news. Newcastle had long suspected that Isaac would refuse to renew its contract. Their initial plan was to stay in Isaac for another season and then sell it for a high price a year later. And Ekitic will definitely be slightly lower, and he is three years younger than Isaac. The two have similarities in the style of play, and Ekitic has suffered fewer injuries.

In addition, Newcastle barely avoided violating the Profit and Sustainable Development Rules (PSR) last year, and their financial situation has improved today, but the club's business revenue still takes time to catch up with Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. If Newcastle could sell Isaac for £130 million, that would greatly improve their balance sheet in terms of PSR. The financial flexibility that comes with it will help fund the introduction of a center and can help Newcastle sign players from other positions.
