Newcastle plan club record contract for Isak in response to Liverpool attempt

The Swede is the subject of an approach from Liverpool this week.

But The Sun says Newcastle are insisting Isak will not be allowed to leave - for any price.

While the board rates him at £120m, officials are insistent that Isak will not be cleared to leave, no matter the player's opinion.

Instead, management are now prepared to up Isak's £130,000-a-week wages to a club record £200,000-a-week to keep him happy.

The centre-forward has been unsettled after former Toon chief Paul Mitchell refused to consider opening talks over a new deal last season. But that stand has since changed.
