Chelsea approaches Newcastle for Swedish striker Alexander Isak, but Newcastle resists sale and aims to make him highest-paid without release clause.

Chelsea has approached Newcastle United about a potential deal for Swedish striker Alexander Isak, who had an impressive 25-goal season. However, Newcastle has reportedly informed Chelsea that Isak is not for sale, and they plan to make him their highest-paid player without a release clause. This prospective move could set a new British transfer record, surpassing Chelsea's previous £115m signing of Moises Caicedo.
