The Sun said that the Blues and their new manager, Enzo Maresca, were unwilling to pay Newcastle’s asking price of more than £100 million.

Newcastle thinks Isak is worth closer to £120 million in the current market.Despite this week’s talks between Chelsea and the Swedish international, a deal is currently unlikely.

Newcastle was worried Chelsea will make a low offer for the 24-year-old in an attempt to take advantage of their PSR issues. It would have been tough for Chelsea to pay Isak what he was demanding. The forward currently makes about £120,000 per week, but if he had moved to Stamford Bridge, he would have preferred to make about £200,000 per week.

Everton might suffer as a result of the unsuccessful attempt to sign Isak.The source claims that Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle, sees Calvert-Lewin as his first choice striker target in the event that Isak leaves, adding to Sean Dyche’s team’s difficulties in meeting their PSR deadline.

Even though Calvert-Lewin would be open to a move and Newcastle is willing to hand him a five-year contract, it doesn’t seem probable that a deal would materialize unless Isak leaves.
