Newcastle have understandably been desperate to keep Isak, who scored 27 times last season. He inspired the Magpies to their first major trophy in 70 years when they won the Carabao Cup at Wembley - with Isak scoring the decisive goal in the 2-1 win over Liverpool in the final - while Eddie Howe’s side qualified for the Champions League.

Newcastle signed Isak from Real Sociedad, back in 2022, breaking their club-record to pull off a £63m deal for the La Liga striker. The player's book value - which represents the remaining, unamortised portion of a transfer fee on the balance sheet, at present, stands at around £33m.
