Newcastle is on a preseason tour in Asia, but Alexander Isak is not included due to a potential change of club.
Liverpool is said to have made a bid for the Swedish attacking star of around 120 million pounds, approximately 1.55 billion kronor, which Newcastle is said to have rejected.
I heard about the bid yesterday and it had been rejected before I had even heard about it. It's people back home in England who are handling the situation, says Howe at a press conference in Seoul, according to the club's website.
I do not know what happens next, but from our perspective, we continue to support Alex in every way and I wish to see him in a Newcastle jersey again.
On Sunday, Newcastle will meet Tottenham in a training match in South Korea before the team returns to the UK.
