Some interesting questions from this article.

If Liverpool want him, they know what to do ? make a bid. But they aren?t, they are just threatening to. If this is part of their ?power play?, it feels a little weak and leaves Newcastle with the stronger hand.

Frankfurt could be encouraged to hold off agreeing a quick deal with Newcastle if they are made to believe bigger offers are coming, but it?s all talk from Liverpool?s side at this point. If Ekitike isn?t convinced Liverpool REALLY want him, this could be a factor that?s maintaining Newcastle?s encouragement on the player?s side.

So, for me, in this complex and exhausting mini saga, four things will be key in the coming days:

1. Will Liverpool actually bid for Ekitike?
2. Who will Ekitike pick if they do?
3. Will Frankfurt deal quickly or encourage a bidding war?
4. What will be Isak?s next move in all of this?
