Newcastle United hit back at Alexander Isak’s social media statement

Alexander Isak - Will he or won't he go?
  • Newcastle United have rejected striker Alexander Isak’s claim that he was promised a summer exit, stating he remains under contract.
  • Isak accused the club of “broken promises” and declared “trust is lost”, asserting that a transfer is now in everyone’s best interest.
  • The club issued a strong statement denying any such commitment and indicated that the conditions for a sale, including a rejected £110m bid from Liverpool, would not be met.
  • Isak has not featured for Newcastle in pre-season or their opening league match, reportedly due to a thigh injury, and is training separately.
  • The dispute comes as Newcastle began the season without a recognised striker, having failed to secure other transfer targets.
