Alexander Isak has been told what he must do to force a move to Liverpool.
Isak remains a transfer target for the Premier League champions, who saw an opening bid worth £110million rejected by Newcastle earlier this month. No second bid has yet materialised, but it is expected before the summer window closes on September 1.

Newcastle continue to insist that Isak is not for sale as they try - and fail - to sign a replacement, having already seen Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko all reject a move to St James' Park.
Isak - who has been exiled from the Newcastle squad - has been told not to give up hope of making his dream move to Anfield, but also to be more proactive to force the issue.
"Two things should happen here," journalist Henry Winter said on talkSPORT.
"First, he should put in a transfer request. I know [he wouldn't do that] but why does he deserve a loyalty bonus or any financial recompense from Newcastle United when he's halfway through his contract? Absolutely shouldn't do.
"Also, Liverpool should put in a proper offer. £110m for a player like this, particularly in a transfer window like this where we've seen fairly decent players move for £45-60m, he's an elite-level player, which is why that Liverpool understandably want him.
"Put in a proper offer. Maybe they're waiting until after next week's game [against Newcastle] but it is staining the start of the season.
"Liverpool have had a fantastic transfer window but I think they need to show a bit more respect to Newcastle United and also respect to Isak, because he's more than a £110m player."
