Here’s a sharp recap of Liverpool’s immediate reaction after Alexander Isak made his final decision on his future at Newcastle:
—
Liverpool’s stance remains clear: they **stand ready** to reignite a transfer for Alexander Isak—**but only if Newcastle signals openness** to negotiation first. Liverpool, not opposed to paying a British-record fee, have bid approximately **£110 million plus add-ons**, with rumoured willingness to stretch up to **£130m–£140m**—even if Newcastle values him at **£150m** ([The Liverpool Offside][1], [FourFourTwo][2], [TEAMtalk][3]). That said, they’ll proceed only if the Magpies indicate serious intent to sell, making the strain between passive interest and transfer traction all the more evident ([The Liverpool Offside][1], [All Football][4]).
Liverpool apparently **won’t chase Isak indefinitely**. Reports suggest that **if Newcastle continue to maintain such a hardline stance**, Liverpool may **abandon their pursuit altogether**—despite Isak’s unwavering desire to depart ([The Liverpool Offside][1], [All Football][4], [TEAMtalk][5]). Essentially, it’s now **waiting on Newcastle’s decision** rather than any new impetus from Liverpool.
Complicating matters further, Newcastle have outlined **strict conditions for any sale**—they insist on signing **two replacement strikers** before letting Isak go and value him at around **£150m**, which so far Liverpool haven’t met ([The Liverpool Offside][1], [Diario AS][6], [Sky Sports][7], [Sports Mole][8]). Liverpool’s message is firm: “**We’re ready—only if you open the door.**”

### TL;DR
* Liverpool are **prepared to step up with a record bid**, but won’t act unilaterally.
* **If Newcastle refuse to budge**, Liverpool will likely **walk away**.
* The ball remains firmly in **Newcastle’s court**: make the sale feasible, or the saga may fizzle out.
