Nineteen days.
That's how long it has been since Liverpool's £110m bid for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was rejected.
Since then, there have been no further offers.
But it hasn't stopped the future of the 25-year-old Sweden striker being the biggest talking point of the summer window.
Will Liverpool bid again? Will he rejoin first-team training in the meantime? What happens if a deal is not completed by the 1 September deadline day?
BBC Sport has spoken to a number of sources in an attempt to get the latest on these questions and what might happen next.
