Liverpool's anticipated second bid for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak is poised to trigger a cascade of transfers before the window closes.
The Reds' initial £110m bid was rejected, but sources indicate a new offer of at least £120m is imminent, which would be a new British record.
This move is seen as the key that could unlock a series of other deals, creating a 'house-sale chain' of transfers.
The chain includes players like Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade, Brentford's Yoane Wissa, and Borussia Dortmund forward Max Beier.
It's believed that a social media post from Isak stating his relationship with Newcastle 'can't continue' was the catalyst for Liverpool's renewed efforts.
Sources close to the player have confirmed his desire to move to Anfield.
In a counter-statement, Newcastle did not rule out a sale, but stated that the conditions for it had not been met.
These conditions are twofold: Newcastle must sign two new strikers.
The first, Woltemade, is reportedly being signed for a club-record fee and is expected to be the first-choice striker.
Newcastle is also pursuing Brentford's Yoane Wissa, who is seen as a replacement for Callum Wilson.
Brentford has rejected two offers for Wissa, but talks are ongoing.
The expectation is that if Brentford secures another attacker, Wissa will move to St.
James' Park.
The final domino is for the clubs to agree on a deal.
The fact that Newcastle is actively seeking two forwards suggests their willingness to sell Isak, who is currently training away from the squad.
