According to well-known journalist Romano, Newcastle striker Isaac refused to play in Saudi Arabia, and he only negotiated with Liverpool.
Romano revealed that there was no progress in the introduction of Isaac in Riyadh Crescent, and the player refused to enter the Saudi league because he still hoped to play in the highest level of Europe, and the clubs that have made specific negotiations on Isaac's transfer have always been Liverpool.
Isaac played 42 games for Newcastle last season, scoring 27 goals and assisting 6 times.
