Isak breaks silence on his Newcastle future
Alexander Isak has spoken publicly for the first time amid ongoing speculation about his future. The Swedish forward revealed that Newcastle United have “broken” promises made to him and admitted that “trust is lost” between player and club. Isak, who is not currently training with the first team, shared on Instagram that he had remained silent while “others pushed their own version of events” but now felt the need to set the record straight. He stressed that the club had long known his position and that their current stance was “misleading.” According to him, the relationship cannot continue and a change is needed for all parties.
Newcastle respond: no promises were made
In response, Newcastle United released a statement firmly denying Isak’s claims. The club said that no official had ever promised the striker he could leave this summer. They reaffirmed their desire to keep their best players, while acknowledging that they respect player wishes and listen to their views. However, the club emphasized that any decision must consider the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and its supporters. They concluded that the “conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired” and that they do not expect those conditions to be met.
What happens next
The standoff between Isak and Newcastle is now at a critical stage. With Liverpool already seeing a £110m bid rejected, attention turns to whether another offer could meet the club’s valuation. If no agreement is reached, Isak may face a difficult period away from the first team while Newcastle push ahead with their plans for the new season. The coming weeks could decide whether reconciliation is possible or if a record-breaking transfer becomes inevitable.
