Aleksandr Isak has refused to play for the "Newcastle" team and is planning to move to "Liverpool." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
For this reason, "Newcastle" has started searching for a new striker. According to reports, "Crystal Palace" striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is seen as the main candidate to replace the Swedish player.
Journalist Rudy Galetti reported this. "Crystal Palace" is demanding approximately £40 million (which is more than €46 million) to sell the 28-year-old player.
By selling Aleksandr Isak, "Newcastle" could earn more than €130 million. So far, no official offer has come from "Liverpool."
Jean-Philippe Mateta recently scored a goal against "Liverpool" in the England Super Cup match. Last season, the French striker played in 46 matches for "Crystal Palace" across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 4 assists.
Currently, "Newcastle" is working on selecting a new striker. The club is closely monitoring the situation in the transfer market.
Further information regarding Isak's future and Mateta's potential transfer is expected to be provided.
