Newcastle United have made public their position regarding Alexander Isak’s potential transfer, noting it unlikely for Liverpool to meet their valuation of him this summer. Following Isak’s frustration on social media regarding Newcastle’s refusal to sanction his transfer, Newcastle made their statement public as they made clear their perspective regarding this potential deal.
Newcastle released an official communication to clarify they had not promised Isak that he could leave during this transfer window, although they recognized his personal ambitions and sought to retain top talent at their club. Any transfer decision must meet both club, team and fan considerations with Isak likely still wanting out; Newcastle stressed any conditions for his desired move have yet to be fulfilled which are unlikely to be fulfilled anytime soon.
