A major Alexander Isak transfer hint has emerged on Newcastle United's official website after he issued a stunning ultimatum.
Isak's name continues to dominate the transfer rumour mill, with the new Premier League season fast approaching.
Liverpool, who remain in the market for further signings, are keeping tabs on his situation, having had a bid of £110 million rejected.
He has since told Newcastle that he will not play for them again and has no wish to reintegrate into the squad as he attempts to force a move to Anfield this summer.

Despite Isak's new stance, Newcastle have dropped a hint over the player's future on the club's website.
They have confirmed the squad numbers for the 2025/26 season, with Isak receiving a shirt number even though he has asked to leave St. James' Park.
Isak remains Newcastle's No.14, which he has occupied since his move from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022.

Fabrizio Romano provides Alexander Isak update
Liverpool have splashed the cash this summer, including the transfer of forward Hugo Ekitike, who joined in a deal worth £79 million.
But the club have also sanctioned the sales of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, with Diogo Jota sadly passing away last month.
The Reds want more recruits ahead of defending their Premier League title, with Isak high on their wish-list.
And they will 'bid again' for the Swede, according to Romano.
On X, he wrote: "Liverpool will bid again for Isak, as always planned since July...
"...if/when Newcastle open doors to his exit. No changes."
