No formal offer has been made yet, but the magpies were addressed by the Premier League master.
You do not intend to sell your star striker during this window and you appreciate the Swedish sensation for £ 150 million.
However, Liverpool is waiting in the wings to determine whether this attitude changes when you observe another large signing.
Arne slot already broke The British transfer record with the arrival of Florian Wirtz in the amount of £ 116 million at the beginning of summer.
But now he could now smash it again with Isak and give his squad even more breathtaking.
If the move is done, Isak will be the most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League and beat Wirtz.
And it would actually be the second time that Liverpool had broken borders by deciding on a Newcastle striker.
Remove back to January 2011, and the Reds wrote with the arrival of Andy Carroll from St. James’ Park History.
Carroll became the most expensive British player ever and made the record for the biggest top change by connecting £ 35 million.
The geordie arrived in addition to Luis Suarez in Angield to replace Fernando Torres, who took the record for himself just a few hours later on the same day by joins Chelsea for £ 50 million.

The 6ft4in front man scored some impressive numbers before moving in the middle of the season, scored 11 goals and supported seven in 19 games for Newcastle.
But his record transfer did not find out how he would have wanted, and he couldn’t even approach this previous form.
Carroll scored only 11 goals in a total of 58 games for Liverpool and only supported six during this time.
The pressure to play for such a club could have been the problem, but his lack of knowledge about his Reds teammates will also affect his chances of success in the club.
He left Liverpool 18 months after his 35 million pound parade for West Ham, before going to London in 2013. Six years later, he returned to Newcastle to get a pay-you play play deal.
On this return, Carroll opened over his time in Angeld and revealed that he had to google who he played with.

He said in 2019: “When I was here [at Newcastle]I would go home, play around with my friends, play football, go out, whatever, but I would never see football, I never knew players.
“I would come in on Friday or wake up on Saturday morning and say: ‘Who do we play?’ I was just completely not aware that the football that was going on.
“I would work on the training area and knew my tactics, but until we had a meeting, I didn’t know who we were playing unless I asked someone.”
Carroll then revealed: “When I was in a helicopter to Liverpool, I said: ‘I know Stevie G. [Steven Gerrard]I know [Jamie] Carragher. Who else? ‘
“My agent at the time had to tell me and I would get it on Google and find out the team. So that’s a real story.
“It’s bad because it’s Liverpool players, but it is not disrespectful – I literally didn’t see football, so I didn’t know.”

Carroll has also admitted that he simply couldn’t settle in Liverpool, with Newcastle playing style more matched at that time.
And he indicated that he wished he never left the magpies.
He told Alan Shearer for the Athletic: “It was crazy. I had just bought a house in NewcastleSo I sorted out, then I was in a hotel in Liverpool without knowing the city without knowing someone.
“I couldn’t deal with it or how to live and how you are in this club. The way I had played Newcastle – That’s how I wanted to play. But Liverpool was completely different.
“I should have accepted their ideas what they wanted. Think back and really didn’t appreciate what I had and what I could have achieved.”
Carroll may now look back and regret his time in Liverpool, but he still plays football at the age of 36.
He recently signed for the Non League Club Dagenham and Redbridge and returned to England after playing for Bordeaux.
The ex-England striker has also played for Reading, West Brom and Amiens in the years since his time.
Liverpool will definitely hope that the next Newcastle striker, which you sign for a British record fee, will thrive rather than a flop.
And if a change is visible to ISAK, you can be pretty sure, whereby it is considered one of the best in the world.
For £ 120 million, the red hope that the Swede will make some research on his teammates in advance …
