Alexander Isak has been associated with a move to Liverpool, and Newcastle United stands up for a serious wake-up call if they lose their talisman if the experiences of Sir Alex Ferguson are something to go
The private chat of Sir Alex Ferguson about losing Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid speaks volumes about Lot Newcastle United Face when Alexander Isak leaves. After his £ 60 million move to the Magpies of Real Sociedad in 2023, the Swedish striker did not waste time by becoming a legend on Tyneside.
The 25-year-old has managed 62 goals and 11 assists in 109 trips and was an important role in the fifth place of the club last season, as well as their Carabao Cup trophy, it scored the decisive goal in Newcastle's 2-1 victory over Premier League champions Liverpool in the final.
But he has brought his Newcastle foundation in serious danger by confirming that he wants to explore his options by St. James' Park this summer. And if Isak has to leave his current club prior to the new season, former Magpies -Baas Pardew has noticed how Eddie Howe will be to find a replacement.
Pardew said on Talksport: “These are the tests that you get as a Premier League manager, whether you are at the top of the competition, in the middle or below. You will get tests and Eddie is being tested here by one of his most important players.”
Pardew also remembered how Ferguson was once in a similar cloudy situation when Ronaldo said goodbye to the Red Devils in the summer of 2009, so that the legendary manager of Manchester United was aware that he would be unable to find a like-for-like replacement for one of the greatest players ever.
He added: “I remember that Alex Ferguson was talking about Ronaldo. It was a game just before he was about to leave. I said,” How are you going to replace him? ” He said: “Well, I will not be able to replace him.
“And Isak would be exactly the same. He doesn't get anyone who can do those figures that Isak can do. So you will have to spread it and buy two players. That's what Fergie did.
“I think he said,” I'm going to buy two or three to try to replicate what he does within the team unit. ” And that is what Eddie will have to do. “
The assumptions of Ferguson in order to be able to find an outright replacement for Ronaldo were quickly proven. While the now 83-year-old high expectations have had Michael Owen, Gabriel Obertan and Mame Diouf, they came far under the pace, precision and the pure skill that Ronaldo brought to the starting XI.
For context, diouf lasted just three years with the red devils, making just nine apearances for the first team before he was sold on to hanover 96, while obertan played 27 times before he was sold on to newcastle in 2011. Owen, meanwhile, scored beals, Stoked, Stoked, STOED BEFARANS, STOED BEFARANS, STOED BEFARANS, STOED BEFARANS, JEANWHILEARSALS, JEANWHILEARARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSALARSAARANSS In 2012.
So far, Newcastle has passed a matte summer transfer window, with the transfer of £ 55 million from Anthony Elanga van Nottingham Forest as the tent on the side. However, it is not because of a lack of trying, with the magpies in connection with James Trafford, Bryan Mbeumo and Hugo Ekitike, only for them to join Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.
The Magpies aimed for the potential departure of Isak in the coming weeks and currently guard the situation of RB Leipzig -Spits, Benjamin Sesko, who made an impression in the Bundesliga at the age of only 22. Votes a movement to the northwest instead of the northeast.
The good news for Newcastle fans is that there are actually not many teams that can afford a mega-money significance for Isak this summer, since the magpies De Ster firmly appreciate a stunning £ 150 million. On Friday it was reported that Newcastle also quickly rejected the first official offer from Liverpool of a total of £ 120 million for the Talisman, after months of speculation about whether they would make a bold approach, since they had already spent a guaranteed £ 100 million on Florian Wirtz.
