Alexander Isak went to social media on Tuesday evening to issue a statement about his future with Newcastle United, but omitted a bit of information that has previously prevented a move to Liverpool
Alexander Isak ignored an important detail from his explosive explanation about his situation in Newcastle United while his dramatic transfersaga is going on. The striker went to Instagram on Tuesday evening to delete the air about what is happening with his current club.
In his destructive assessment, Isak claimed that the magpies had broken promises that were made to him and that going further from Tyneside is the best for all parties. The 25-year-old, however, missed a little details why Liverpool was not successful in their efforts to sign him
Speaking at his Rio Presents YouTube channel, former Manchester United -defender Rio Ferdinand spoke about the opening offer of Liverpool of around £ 110 million that was rejected earlier this month. He then asked: “The question is, is he worth more than that? Newcastle appreciates him more than that?
“And if they appreciate him more than that, how much more and is it a shameful question? Because that is where I feel that a player goes:” Wait a minute, you praise myself unrealistically from the market and so I have a problem. ” And that is the detail that we have to get from Isak and his camp, I think.
“If you look at the other transfers of the summer, you have to ask. Is the price of Newcastle, to combat £ 140 million, £ 150 million … Is that realistic? Is that £ 30 million to £ 40 million more expensive than one [Florian] Wirtz?
“If we have to say,” Yes, he is, “I don't think Liverpool will get their asking price, and Isak has to accept that. But I think what Isak and his camp should do, they need to know what the asking price was and were Liverpool comfortable to meet that asking price?”
Ferdinand emphasized when he thinks it was all sour between Isak and his club, thinking whether a men's agreement was actually between Isak and Amanda Staveley before she left the club.
Ferdinand added: “That is the problem. I think there has been a men's agreement, a promise made for this price that you will prepare to go to that club asks for you.
“That prize has been achieved, but the person who has given the promise, I think the football club has left the new regime, and new people in them say:” The promise was not with us, it was with that person, not the club, there is no paperwork to say that it is. That promises, they are no longer promised, promised,
“Isak says:” Woah, woah, woah. I'm not happy with that. 'Now I think that where the club might have had to do better, this conversation should have been as soon as that person left.
“Now, the nuances I am talking about is that the person who made the promise and the football club told the people who come in?” I have a promise with one of our best players, if not the best player. You just want to record that and you want to talk about it now. “
“Maybe in January, when it was [say it] So you don't have this problem in the transfer window, in the summer where there is little time. Pressure is on and you are doing it in the audience now, and they broadcast their dirty laundry.
“I think that has been a big mistake, and I think you should look at these power moments of the player and these verbal similarities. The player who refuses to play and refuses to train … This is a last resort.”
As it looks now, Liverpool still has to return with a second bid after seeing their opening offer, and with less than two weeks until the Deadline Day of the transfer, it is still to be seen whether or not they will do so.
Isak has reportedly claimed that he will never play for the club again, regardless of whether he will see a move to Merseyside before 1 September and despite the fact that he has three years on his current contract.
It seems that Liverpool has for the time being pumped the brakes on their approach for Isak, instead concentrating on strengthening their defensive options for the new season. The club has recently taken over the services of Center-H Helft Giovanni Leoni in a £ 26 million deal with Parma and is now looking at a long-term target, Marc Guehi, from Crystal Palace.
