Newcastle United CEO Darren Eales has reminded potential lovers that Sterman Alexander Isak has been on his contract for a number of years – with conversations about an extension planned at the end of the season.
The Swedish striker Isak is the third highest score in the Premier League this season with 19 goals, behind only Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland. He has turned out to be the key to the side of Eddie Howe since he participated in a club record movement in the summer of 2022, so that Newcastle comes to the Champions League in his first season.
The Magpies remain contrary to a top four finish this season, although fifth place could still be enough for the qualification of Champions League. They are in sixth place with 11 more games, but only four points behind Nottingham Forest in third place.
Liverpool has failed in a daring attempt to sign Isak in a player-plus-cash deal with Darwin Nunez, so it is said. She and colleague -freedom Arsenal may return to the summer, but the Newcastle chef has established.
“The reality is that all our players are among long -term deals,” Eales told reporters, according to the i. “They are committed to the club. So from that perspective we don't want to move a player. We have that wish and wish to keep our most important players [and] We are not under the gun [to sell] Or something similar.
“We have a property that is ambitious [and] Want the best for the club. So from that perspective it would be crazy for us to consider it. '
Describing Isak as 'world class', Eales recognized interest is inevitable, but made it clear that the club wants to keep their star in the neighborhood. “We will become clear – he will have several years left,” he continued.
“So like all these things, we will have the discussions in terms of a new deal, just as we did with Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon. That is something that we will approach in the summer. “
Isak scored his 22nd goal of the season on Sunday and scored a penalty in a 2-1 extra time defeat against Brighton in the FA Cup. He also scared an injury scared in the regular time, which allowed him to recover only fourteen days for the Carabao Cup final, but former Newcastle star Alan Shearer expects him to be back in time.
“What I hear that it will be okay for the final,” said Shearer about the rest is the football podcast. “I think that's what Eddie Howe has the next two weekends.
“If there is even a doubt of 2% about someone, I think he will just omit them in preparation for the final and I will not blame him for that,” he added. Newcastle still has a league match to navigate for the final, road at West Ham on March 10.
