Alexander Isak criticizes Newcastle board and pushes for exit as Liverpool monitor the situation
Alexander Isak has publicly expressed his frustration with Newcastle United, accusing the club of breaking promises and reinforcing his desire to leave. The Swedish striker’s statement has reignited speculation over a potential move to Liverpool, who are reportedly following the situation closely.
Isak Breaks Silence on Social Media
After failing to return from vacation and missing the Magpies’ Premier League opener, Isak addressed the controversy with a direct message to fans.
“The club has known my position for a long time. Promises were made, but not kept. When trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue. That’s why change is in everyone’s interest, not just mine,” the forward declared.
The 25-year-old accused Newcastle of attempting to control the narrative with “distorted versions” behind the scenes, adding that he could no longer remain silent.
Liverpool Identified as Likely Destination
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool is the only option seriously under consideration by Isak at this stage. Jürgen Klopp’s side is actively monitoring developments as the striker’s fallout with Newcastle deepens.
Record-Breaking Season Amid Growing Frustration
Despite the controversy, Isak is coming off his best season in England. He scored 23 goals and provided six assists in 34 Premier League games last campaign, earning a spot in the PFA Team of the Year. Notably, he skipped the awards ceremony in Manchester a decision that raised eyebrows among observers.
His absence from Newcastle’s opening fixture against Aston Villa further fueled speculation of a looming transfer.
