Here is the statement in response to Alexander Isak.
We are disappointed that tonight we have been warned about a social media post by Alexander Isak.
We are clear that Alex will remain under contract and that a club officer never assumed that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.
We want to keep our best players, but we also understand that players have their own wishes and we listen to their opinion. As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into account the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale did not happen this summer.
We do not predict those conditions that are met.
This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feeling. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed when he is ready to join his teammates again
