Alexander Isak to Liverpool transfer timeline explained after Newcastle agreement reached

Isak

Newcastle United appear closer to appeasing Alan Shearer - and resolving the Alexander Isak transfer saga - by closing in on signing Nick Woltemade.

The Magpies are said to have agreed a £65million deal with Stuttgart that would seemingly open the door for their current striker to depart before the deadline.

Newcastle also appear to still be in talks with Wolves over Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Brentford star Yoane Wissa also appears to remain an alternative should discussions with Wolves not result in an agreement.

The Magpies signing either would, presumably, increase the chances of reaching a resolution between Liverpool, Newcastle and Isak, which Shearer wants to happen this week.

"It has to be resolved,"

"They can't go through to next Monday again.

"They've got Leeds [United] on Saturday. It's just been going on and on.

"I know the chairman was in Newcastle last night, so my guess would be that something has to be sorted out in the next two or three days.

"It can't drag on into the weekend again.

"One way or the other, it has to be resolved."

Shearer added: "Unfortunately, you have a three-year contract in this situation.

"That's you or your agent's fault for signing such a long deal without any get-out clauses.

"I know football's ruthless, I know how it works, and I know when a club wants to get rid of you, as a player, they can, but that club is paying you for your services, and you've got three years left.

"There's a way of doing things.

"Look at how [Eberechi] Eze has conducted himself at Crystal Palace, totally different, I know, look at [Marc] Guehi in a very difficult situation.

“He's got one year left, but Isak has three years left of a six-year deal that he or his agent signed, so that's where it's all very different."
