The discussions between the two clubs have progressed in the past 24 hours, with Liverpool aiming to finalize a deal before the upcoming transfer deadline on Monday. Although the £130m offer still falls short of Newcastle's £150m valuation, there is hope that the Magpies may soften their stance with the imminent arrival of a replacement for Isak.

Newcastle has agreed terms with VfB Stuttgart for Nick Woltemade, who is expected to join the club today to complete the move. This development may influence Newcastle's decision regarding Isak's transfer, as the two clubs continue to engage in negotiations.
