Open Extended ReactionsLiverpool are not currently planning to submit a second offer for Alexander Isak, a source has told ESPN, after Newcastle United rejected the club's opening bid for the striker.
Earlier on Friday, Arne Slot's side had tabled an offer worth up to £110m ($145 million), well below Newcastle's £150m ($197 million) valuation of the player.
But a source said the nature of Newcastle's rejection was such that Liverpool feel presenting a second bid at this juncture would be pointless.
ESPN previously reported that Liverpool were interested in Isak despite signing striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth up to £79m ($105 million).
Isak's winning goal against Liverpool in March's Carabao Cup final delivered Newcastle's first domestic trophy for 70 years.
