Newcastle United are adamant they will not be bullied into selling Alexander Isak without finding a suitable replacement after rejecting an opening bid from Liverpool that fell well short of their £150m valuation.

Liverpool may not bid again for Alexander Isak this summer after an opening £120m ($158m) offer from the Reds was swiftly rejected by Newcastle United.
