Not only speeding up the purchase of the Swedish striker, Liverpool leaders also promoted another contract - Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.
Their arrivals will take Liverpool's summer spending to £466m, after bringing in Florian Wirtz, Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni.
Previously, the Meryseyside team had their initial offer of £110 million rejected. As for Newcastle, they valued Alexander Isak at up to £150 million.
Liverpool will next visit Newcastle's St James Park. Isak will definitely not be on the field because he is on strike and wants to leave.
Many Toon Army fans have turned to curse Isak as a "greedy bastard" for his actions against Newcastle - the team that made him a star after 3 seasons in the Premier League.
As for coach Arne Slot, he told the Kop leadership that Alexander Isak is a key factor in the plan to restructure the squad to defend the Premier League crown.
That has never changed, despite Liverpool signing Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt. The Frenchman has shown he can adapt well, scoring in both the Community Shield and the opening round of the Premier League.
In the case of Marc Guehi, negotiations between Palace and Liverpool took place in a friendly atmosphere because Eagles chairman Steve Parish maintains a close relationship with Liverpool CEO Michael Edwards.
The Kop are ready to pay £35m to secure the services of Guehi - who has only 1 year left on his contract at Selhurst Park. The centre-back himself also wants to leave before the summer transfer window closes.
