Alexander Isak has made it clear that he wants to leave Newcastle for Liverpool this summer, but the owners of the Magpies have been encouraged not to sell the striker
The owners of Newcastle United have received a solid warning of ten words to be steadfast and to prevent Alexander Isak from leaving the park of St. James. The magpies have rejected an offer worth a report of £ 120 million in total from Liverpool for the Swedish striker on Friday, with the bid in Newcastle's £ 150 million appreciated.
Isak, who delivered 23 times in the Premier League last season, missed the tour of his team in Asia, instead training with his old club, Real Sociedad. It is generally expected that the Reds will soon show an improved offer for the 25-year-old.
Former Prime Minister League striker and former Newcastle coach Dean Saunders has urged the owners of the club to refuse further progress for Isak of Anfield. Saunders, who worked for the magpies during the office of Graeme Souness, warned against the sale of Isak and said, “It is just like beating all supporters in the stomach.”
Speaking on Talksport, the former Wolves and Wrexham manager said: “Newcastle did not really have a good transfer window … and Isaac losing will be a huge blow to them. How do you replace him?
“It is a dilemma because he has signed a five -year contract in Newcastle and he has left for another three years. Liverpool has come and he said to Newcastle:” Right, I want to go. ” The owners are so rich that they can say to him: “Well, you don't care.” “.
“Fans will be stripped because it is a great club, and they think the club is going to climb to the top of the Premier League. And when you start selling your best players, it is just like beating all supporters in the stomach.”
Isak made his move to Newcastle in 2022 for a fee of £ 63 million from Real Sociedad, with the Spanish party to receive ten percent of any profit if he is sold this summer. Although the head coach of United, Eddie Howe, insists all summer that Isak is not on the market, Liverpool continues to show interest.
Howe told Chroniclelive earlier: “He is still our player. He has contracted us. We have checked to a certain extent what the next one is for him. I would like to believe that all possibilities are still available to us. My wish is that he remains, but that is not in my complete control.
In the meantime, the wing player of Newcastle Anthony Gordon said: “I also feel for him for Alex. It is difficult. People forget that you are a person in that scenario. He will go through a lot. The club will continue a lot. I hope everyone will eventually get what they want.”
Former magpies forward Shola Ameobi has also weighed the Isak situation. Despite the constant uncertainty, he claimed that the owners still have great ambitions.
The Nigerian, who serves as a club ambassador during the pre-season Tour, said: “At the end of the day this is football and when you try to mix it with the best teams, you will have great players who want other teams.
“The thing for us is where we are like a club, a property, we are really ambitious. We want to do our best for the club. They immediately demonstrated that, and that will not change.
“Things happen in the background. We really want to communicate that the club is going to do what is best for the club.
He added: “himself, if someone who has lived this since I was a child, it is great to see that ambition. Not only the manager and the staff, but all the property, the Exec team and the board, they are all on the same page and want us to win more trophies.”
