There’s part of me that quite likes seeing huge sums of money go abroad. It’s not healthy for football if one league has such a huge advantage, and at least it goes some way to spreading the wealth.

I’m way past caring about that in this instance, just want it done!

Sky Sports News understands Liverpool's opening offer for Isak was £110m plus add-ons. However, the total offer did not reach £120m.

110m plus addons that make 120m then. 125m max. Cant be pushed about now, esp if they sign a striker and need to sell.

Unfortunately most of it goes into the pockets of some greedy rich caant though and not back into football.

Get Isak and Guehi and we're looking good.

Guehi seems to have come through tonight’s game unscathed, along with a MOTM performance.

Superb defender Guehi. Think we will have good depth at centre back with him and Leon in. Haven’t had that in years really.

I know it was decent when we had Matip and peak Gomez but you know they were only ever one game from a 3-6 month injury.

80mil max

[🟢] NEW: Newcastle look to have finally landed a striker and Liverpool could now make a second attempt to sign Alexander Isak.

The fee Newcastle demand should they decide to sell Isak will still be key. Liverpool had a £110million bid rejected on August 1 and it is unlikely they would go above £120m, given there is no competition to sign him.

[@_pauljoyce, @mhardysport]

@BayernSpace
Nick Woltemade has personally informed Max Eberl and Christoph Freund that he will not wait until next summer for Bayern and will instead join Newcastle immediately. The Premier League club offered him clarity and ambition, promising to make him the direct successor to Alexander Isak, a starting role from day one, and the chance to prove himself in the most competitive league in the world. His entourage also made clear to Bayern that Newcastle expect Isak to join Liverpool in the final days of the window, a message that underlined how decisive the English side have been compared to Munich.

Inside Bayern the reaction is one of shock, a feeling that has become all too common in recent transfer windows. Bayern submitted three separate bids to Stuttgart for Woltemade, and each one was rejected. Instead of matching the demand, the board chose to step back, convinced that waiting until next summer would eventually bring success. Their plan was to circle around Woltemade and move when the timing better suited their financial books. It mirrored the approach with Florian Wirtz, where the board relied on arrogance and low offers, believing they could pressure Leverkusen into selling. Wirtz chose Liverpool instead for several reasons, and Woltemade has now followed the same path, rejecting Bayern’s empty promises and choosing the clarity, financial strength, and decisiveness of Newcastle.

The rejection cuts deeper because of the debate within the club. Uli Hoeneß and Jan-Christian Dreesen championed Woltemade as the safe and conservative Bundesliga solution, German, media friendly and what they assumed would be cheap, the kind of continuity signing they could present after Harry Kane. Max Eberl pressed for a bigger move, quietly reaching out to Alexander Isak and Benjamin Šeško to test whether they would wait another year. Their answer was immediate rejection, leaving Bayern with nothing.

This latest episode is another humiliation, a reminder of a club that once wanted to dictate the market but now finds itself rejected, exposed and increasingly irrelevant in the eyes of Europe’s best.

I’m bored of Indy

same bring the kfc guy back

it'll just be that we are going to bid again

Surprised Bayern aren’t in for Gordon to get Newcastle buy for daring to buy a German player

He completely missed the Woltemade transfer….

Suppose he has to now state the obvious and claim it as his own breaking story.

40m bid for Gueli then.

Enough?

have they signed a replacement ?

And Indy is FootballInsider?????

That account has been talking shiite for years

they dont wanna lose him for free so 40m would be higher than id bid, prob go for 30 with 5m addons

then again we kinda need him now so

£40m should be enough for Guehi I reckon.

Just seen Chelsea are signing Garnacho too, Orny bomba.

we only bid once for isak, not bid for guehi yet right?
