Alexander Isak did not participate in the start of Newcastle in the new Premier League campaign because he wants to become a member of Liverpool, and the star of ex-Reds Danny Murphy has predicted what could happen
Former Liverpool -midfielder Danny Murphy has insisted that Alexander Isak will soon return to action for Newcastle United, if the Magpies refuse to have him leave the club this summer. Isak was absent for the club's pre-season after he did not have had his teammates during their tour through the Far East, and he did not present in the Premier League either.
Liverpool has already rejected an £ 110 million bid for the striker, which ultimately led to that Isak and Newcastle release any fiery explanations this week about their respective attitude towards the current Saga.
Magpies -fans expressed their anger about the Swedish star, which was omitted from the opening match of the new campaign against Aston Villa. It is expected that he will not be available for Monday's meeting with Liverpool.
“Even if Liverpool goes up a little [with their bid]I don't see how Newcastle can let him go if they don't have anyone to play Center-Forward, “said Murphy on Talksport.
“It's just simple. What is he going to do? He has his World Cup year. He has to keep playing to keep the interest in him when he goes next summer. What choice do you have?
“You have to play football. Even if you have to apologize, you have to keep your hands up … whatever it is, it has to play football.”
Earlier this week, Isak claimed that Newcastle had declined about guarantees that had been given to him before the summer. That seemed like a final attempt to develop a departure with less than two weeks in the summer transfer window, Liverpool.com reports.
“They have an active £ 60 million, they still have a three -year contract and we have this discussion about a men's agreement,” added Simon Jordan.
“People actually believe it. People listen to 'broken promises' and then you get idiots like [former Spurs midfielder] Jamie O'hara in the sky who says that broken promises are made. Nonsense!
“Everyone in the real world knows that if a company were given to a football player that they were willing to enter into a discussion with which he could be sold, it would be correctly documented, in the same way as his contract was documented.”
Newcastle -Baas Eddie Howe was confronted with questions about ISAK during his press conference prior to Monday's collision with Liverpool. Although he confirmed that the Swede will not appear in that match, he expressed his eagerness to bring the player back into the fold when he is ready.
“The club must act in the best interest in Newcastle United,” said Howe. “That will do that in every situation. [Isak’s social media statement] Was a sad moment. My preference is that these things do not happen publicly. They are better treated behind closed doors.
“But the needs (the statement of Re Newcastle in response). The club has spoken, and rightly at that time. He contracted us. He is our player.
“My wish is that he would play with us on Monday evening. He will not be, and that is regrettable at the moment. But 100 percent, I want him back in a shirt in Newcastle.
“It is disappointing that I have to mention this extensively and take away from football. The players have done well to eliminate it all. But it is in the background and it is regrettable that we are in this situation.”
