Liverpool have not walked away from a deal for Alexander Isak and will submit a second offer should Newcastle make progress on signing the striker's replacement.
The Premier League champions had a £110million formal bid rejected on Friday, with subsequent claims from Merseyside that they would not be returning to the table.
However, Mail Sport understands that is not the case and, as Newcastle press ahead with deals for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Brentford's Yoane Wissa, they anticipate a much-improved approach from the Anfield club.
Liverpool will know they are wasting their time making an offer whilst Newcastle are waiting for a response from Sesko as to his preferred destination, with Manchester United also interested.
