Real Madrid could rival Liverpool for Newcastle United's Alexander Isak . . . according to Richard Keys on beIN Sport. He has claimed the Spanish giants could be set to make their move, with Liverpool yet to return with an improved offer for the Swede.

The Sweden international has been nominated for the 2024-25 PFA Player of the Year award alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Arsenal’s Declan Rice, with the awards ceremony taking place in Manchester this evening.

Alexander Isak's future has been a huge distraction for Newcastle this summer, and while the team performed well, his absence was costly at Aston Villa.
