iNews exclusive: Although Isaac has not officially submitted a transfer application, he will not have a loyalty bonus

Hupu September 1st reported by famous iNews reporter Mark Douglas, Newcastle striker Isaac joined Liverpool.

After a night of major negotiations, the two sides reached a transfer fee agreement in the early morning of Monday, ending the months-long transfer dispute.

Isaac will travel to Merseyside to complete the medical examination and transfer procedures later today. He has been struggling to win the transfer since he first expressed his reluctance to play for the club again in July.

As part of the Newcastle negotiation agreement, Isaac will not receive a loyalty bonus, although he did not formally make a transfer request.

Given Isaac's performance since late July, it is generally believed that a £150 million valuation has never been realistic, but club owners believe that reintegration is a risky strategy that could swallow the entire season after consuming the team's energy in the first month of the season - doubling his value and striving to set a British record is the best way to get out of it.

Time will tell whether this is the right direction for the club to move forward, largely depending on who they can bring in during the last 12 hours of the intense thrill of the transfer deadline.

Newcastle is still actively looking for a second-place forward signing outside Walter Mad, and Chelsea's Nicholas Jackson is one of the options the club is considering.
