Telegraph: Newcastle emphasizes that Isaac is not a product, and strives to sign Ekitic

Newcastle team reporter Luke Edwards reported that Newcastle is currently striving to sign Frankfurt striker Ekitic.

It is reported that Newcastle is fully promoting the signing of Frankfurt striker Ekitic, hoping to get him to partner with Isaac next season. On Tuesday, Liverpool showed interest in Isaac. In a strong response, Newcastle was determined to make full efforts and could sign Ekitic for productive talks within the past 24 hours. Newcastle's £65m initial offer has been rejected, but they are expected to raise the offer in hopes of finalizing the transfer of the player they have been paying attention to.

However, Liverpool have also reached out to Frankfurt, and although they have not submitted a formal offer for the 23-year-old, the competition for the French striker is fierce.

The Daily Telegraph learned that there was news that Liverpool was willing to bid 120 million pounds to introduce Isaac. Newcastle executives believed that this was obviously intended to disrupt Isaac, and they were not panic about it. In fact, Newcastle is not worried about losing the Swedish international, but is advancing its own signing plan. Meanwhile, Liverpool sources strongly denied any attempt to disrupt Isaac and insisted that they had no formal contact.

Newcastle's boss, Saudi Public Investment Fund, is upset with domestic competitors' attempt to force them to sell Isaac, which Newcastle intends to show the club's ambitions, and they firmly say Isaac is not a seller this summer, and all the main leaders of St James Park Stadium agree with this position. Newcastle is not willing to resist Liverpool in only one aspect, but intends to compete with them in two aspects. In response to Tuesday's turmoil, they stepped up negotiations with Ekitic.

It is not clear what response Isaac will respond to Liverpool's interest. Before Liverpool made contact with Newcastle, it was likely that the 25-year-old would do so because he thought the 25-year-old was interested in transferring to Anfield.

As for the current situation, Isaac has not told anyone in Newcastle that he wants to leave, but things may change. Liverpool is unlikely to give up chasing Isaac easily, but they already know Newcastle's position.
