Some at Newcastle feel Isak has been badly advised by those around him.
Isak’s view is that promises have been broken and the trust between him and the club’s hierarchy has evaporated.
But why has the situation become so toxic so quickly? Perhaps a little-known rule around agents explains why the drive to get the deal done this summer has been so intense.
“It’s a very difficult situation for everyone but there’s a lot of pressure on the agent as well.”
What do the rules say?
Eddie Howe believes it is a ‘lose-lose’ situation for the club (Photo: PA)That, Keane suggests, could be increasing the urgency on the player’s side for the Anfield switch to happen.
“There’s also the added complication that agent contracts with a player can only be two years, which was introduced a long time ago to give players freedom to move between agents if they are unhappy with the services provided or if they feel like another agent may be better placed to assist.
“The commission for a deal of this size would be in the millions of pounds, so there is a lot at stake here for the agent as well as Newcastle and the player.”
In public they have left the route open to rapprochement.
That has even extended to the club refusing to be drawn on whether Isak has been officially disciplined.

But Keane says that with such a breach of contract, all options are open to Newcastle.
“Obviously that’s not going to happen because they want to keep him under contract to either retain him as a player or command a big fee for him if they do decide to sell him.
“Typically if he has committed the breaches that have been reported, he will be fined two weeks’ wages for that.
“I would think Isak doesn’t really care at this stage about those fines because his end game is to get a move to Liverpool.”

Will a deal happen?
His take is that time is running out for Liverpool to get a deal completed.
“They don’t want to let him go but has the situation become untenable?
“From a transfer negotiation point of view there is a premium [Newcastle] would be looking for from Liverpool for disrupting their season as they have, especially if they cannot find a suitable replacement, and how realistic is it that they actually pay that premium?”
