David Ornstein has played down Liverpool’s chances of prizing Alexander Isak away from Newcastle United this summer. Newcastle have been consistent in their stance that Isak is not for sale. That was the message relayed by chief executive Darren Eales in March while chairman and PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan is said to have privately told the club’s hierarchy to reject any potential offers.

Despite reports that Liverpool are not actively pursuing a new central striker, Hardy noted that the club “have the funds to test Newcastle’s resolve,” even after spending £200 million this summer, including a British-record deal for Florian Wirtz.
