In a social media post that confirmed his desire to leave the Premier League club, Alexander Isak claimed Newcastle United broke promises and misled supporters.
The 25-year-old striker claimed to have informed Newcastle long ago that he wanted to leave.
The relationship can’t continue, Isak wrote on Tuesday night in an Instagram post.
The Sweden international was chosen for the 2024-20 season PFA Premier League team after making a 110 million pounds ($148.34 million) bid from Liverpool earlier this month.
Due to ongoing issues affecting his future, he made the decision to abstain from attending the ceremony where Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah was awarded Player of the Year.
“I’ve been silent for a while,” I said. Even though it is well known that this silence doesn’t reflect what was actually said and agreed behind closed doors, he continued, adding that it has allowed others to perpetuate their own interpretation of events.
“Promesses were made, and the club has known my position for a while,” the truth is. It is misleading to assume that these issues have only just begun to emerge.
Isak could leave this summer, according to a statement from Newcastle that no official statement was made.
Newcastle said, “We are clear in response that Alex is still under contract.” We want to keep our top players, but we also know that they have their own preferences and that we take their opinions into consideration.
We have made it clear that the conditions for a sale this summer have not been met, and that we must always take the best interests of Newcastle United, the team, and our supporters into consideration when making decisions. Those requirements cannot be anticipated.
We work hard to maintain our “family feel because this is a proud football club with proud traditions.” When Alex is ready to rejoin his teammates, he will be welcomed back. He will continue to be a member of our family.
Eddie Howe’s side will take on defending champions Liverpool on Monday after Isak’s goalless draw with Aston Villa on Saturday.
Before their season opener, Howe had stated that Isak “controlled” his own destiny.
