Reporter: Newcastle stressed that Isaac replacement cannot be found, and the Reds bid is far lower than their valuation

According to reporter Keith Downie, Newcastle emphasized that they cannot find a suitable replacement for Isaac, and Liverpool's bid is far lower than their valuation of Isaac.

Keith Downie wrote on social media: "Newcastle stressed that they cannot find a suitable replacement for Isaac, and Liverpool's bid is also far below their valuation of Isaac. If Newcastle had successfully signed Ekitic or Cesco before, they might barely sell Isaac to Liverpool after Liverpool raised their offer."

"Newcastle is already trying to satisfy Isaac's wishes, but they cannot let themselves lack a proven striker. From now until September 1, unless something unexpected happens, Isaac seems to stay. As for whether and when he will play, that's another story."
