According to David Ornstein, Alexander Isak Adamant, he will no longer play for Newcastle. Even if the window is closed without closing 25yo views #nufc career about + no desire to integrate again.
When supporters are awaiting the Newcastle United line-up to be confronted opposite Aston Villa on Saturday, a burning question will be what role-ending-allexander Isak could take for the Eddie Howe team.
Isak cannot be seen in the preseason in the midst of Liverpool's constant chase, and although Newcastle has emphasized that they are not going to allow a sale, potential replacements are still being investigated.
The expectation is that Isak will miss the trip to Villa Park, with his future dressed in uncertainty.
Based on conversations with sources that are aware of the issue, the athletics understand that Isak is adamant to never represent Newcastle.
Even if they refuse to sell the 25-year-old Sweden striker and he stays on Tyneside when the transfer window closes, Isak regards his career in St James's Park as completed and does not want a desire to integrate in the team again.
The perspective of Isak is that after being informed last summer that a new contract would not be offered to him – because of the need of Newcastle to keep the financial rules of football and Isak already a lucrative deal until 2028 – he made it clear that it would be his last campaign with the club.
Some in Newcastle deny that this was expressed and believe that the attacker is planned to discuss the situation, including the possibility of new terms, as soon as 2024-25 was closed.
Isak helped his party to win the Carabao Cup and to be eligible for the Champions League. Two weeks before the season ended, he told Howe about his desire to leave and repeated this during a call to the manager before he flew to Sweden after a final day of defeat by Everton.
Liverpool still has to make an offer because their £ 110 million bid was rejected at the beginning of August. The position of Newcastle can mitigate if a proposal comes closer to £ 150 million and they can fill the emptiness of Isak via the market.
The interest of the Premier League champions remains firm and Isak is aimed at moving to Anfield.
