In response to this development, Newcastle is already exploring alternative options. The club is considering a move for either Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa or Nicolas Jackson. Both players have the potential to fill the void left by Alexander Isak, who is currently out with a thigh injury and may be leaving the club himself.

Isak's future is uncertain, and he is reportedly pushing for a move to Liverpool. Meanwhile, Newcastle is also keeping an eye on other targets, including Brentford's Yoane Wissa and Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz.
