Newcastle pushes forward with a major target after the rejection of Liverpool rejected

Newcastle United and Liverpool are engaged in a transfer confrontation with Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak in the center of a tactical showdown. The telegraph Note that the North East Club is progressing with Eintracht Francfurt about the signing of Ekitike, even though Liverpool is interested in the two players.

The Newcastle opening offer of 65 million pounds sterling for Ekitike has been rejected, but other discussions are expected, the club confident to return with an improved offer. Their interest in Ekitike dates back a while and has been reactivated for the purpose, in particular in the light of the apparent attempt of Liverpool to distribute Isak.

Liverpool, for their part, has not yet submitted an official offer for Ekitike, but contacted Frankfurt and clearly made the admiration for the 23 -year -old. The pursuit of Isak Reds was seen with suspicion in the power corridors of Newcastle.

Newcastle officials are not disturbed by what they consider a manifest attempt to disturb Isak, in particular following reports that Liverpool is ready to pay 120 million pounds sterling for the Swedish striker.

This situation was not helped by tensions in terms of property. With the control of the Control Investment in Saudi Arabia in St James’ Park, any notion that Newcastle could be solid by a rival of the Premier League was rejected.

According to the Telegraph, “one of the threats made by Liverpool was that they would divert their move for Ekitike if they refused to sell them Isak.” Newcastle, rather than retirement, has doubled, using the opportunity to demonstrate the ambition.

The position of St James’ Park is unambiguous. Isak is not for sale. And rather than spending energy in public refutations, Newcastle advances. The discussions for Ekitike have intensified and the intention is now clear: sign it, not to replace, but as a strengthening.

Manager Eddie Howe considers Ekitike as a versatile addition that can offer coverage and competition. With the football of the Champions League on the calendar alongside national campaigns, the depth in the advanced areas will be crucial.

“Newcastle launched its offer for Ekitike this weekend and it was with the intention of signing it both in competition and on the cover for Isak,” confirms the telegraph. Ekitike’s capacity to play widely offers an additional layer of tactical flexibility.

This approach, far from being reactive, suggests long -term planning. Ekitike has been on the radar for some time, and although the noise surrounding Isak continues, Newcastle’s message is that of the challenge, not distress.

What remains clear is Isak’s own position. The interest of Liverpool, even unofficial, rarely surfaces without a form of encouragement. However, “in the current state of things, Isak did not tell anyone in Newcastle that he wanted to leave.”

Liverpool may not easily go back, but Newcastle posture is firm. “This position is shared by all the main power brokers of St James’ Park,” explains the Telegraph.

The next Liverpool movement will be closely monitored, but by launching their push for Ekitike, Newcastle has shown that they will not be dictated. Whether this power game delivers French or simply serves to defend theirs, it underlines a club that does not want to be pushed off.

It is reassuring to see Newcastle standing up. Too often in the past, they have been passive observers in the transfer window. Now they are proactive and daring. The idea that they are not only resistant to an offer for Isak, but also try to sign Ekitike shows ambition. But there is a deeper concern here.

If Liverpool is truly surrounded and believes that Isak is achievable, that makes you ask you what is happening in camera. Clubs like them do not disclose any interest unless there is a signal somewhere. Has Isk’s camp said something? Would he really push for a movement?

The threat of the rumor that Liverpool diverts the Newcastle movement for Ekitike unless they sell from Isak is particularly frustrating for Newcastle fans. It looks like playing field tactics. The supporters hope that the owners stick to their position and will not curl under pressure.

In the end, the club must stand firm, behind Eddie Howe, and keep their best players. Losing Isak now would be a hard blow. Ekitike’s signature would help, but the message must be clear: Newcastle is no longer a springboard.
