According to a source in the Post, the parties have now basically reached a consensus that selling Isaac is the best option, but only if Newcastle must sign at least one new striker (or two).

All summer, Newcastle has been looking for a suitable striker, but has not been able to do so. However, just Thursday afternoon, a shocking news came that Newcastle had signed Walter Mad to a £65 million deal with Stuttgart, and the 23-year-old German international is expected to arrive in Newcastle for a medical examination on Thursday night.

Newcastle made two offers to Wolves forward Larson this week, but both were rejected, with the most recent offer of £55 million. The Wolves didn't want to sell Larson, and Newcastle once thought the deal was feasible before starting to chase. Both the player camp and agent Jorge Mendes sent positive signals, but according to sources, Newcastle was a misjudgment. Because within Wolves, club chairman Shi Yu insisted not to sell Larson. Why? Because they don't have time to find a suitable replacement, and more importantly, they think Larson will be the key figure in the team's relegation.

As for another signing for Visa, the player is eager to join Newcastle, but still needs to wait for Brentford to sign his replacement. Visa's agent has flew to London to complete the transfer. Tottenham is also interested in Visa and may try to intercept Newcastle, but the players have made it clear that Newcastle is his first choice. Brentford is in contact with several forwards, who are said to have also communicated with England coach Tuchel about the situation of Dortmund striker Bayer.
