Alan Shearer, a legendary Newcastle player, has accused wantaway striker Alexander Isak of “igning the fire” of his row with the Magpies by claiming that the club has broken its terms.
The Sweden international, who scored the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League last season, did not feature in Newcastle’s opening game of the campaign, a goalless draw away at Aston Villa last Saturday.
According to reports, Liverpool rejected a £110 million ($149 million) bid for the 25-year-old, while Newcastle fought to secure a £100 million British transfer record fee.
Despite being chosen as the Premier League 2024/25 team of the year, Isak made a statement on Tuesday stating that he had decided not to attend the Professional Footballers’ Association awards ceremony.
The relationship can’t continue when promises are broken and trust is lost, according to Isak, who added that the club has known my position for a long time.
However, Shearer, the former Newcastle captain and manager, claimed Vlado Lemic’s agent had misled his client in an interview with Betfair.
Shearer said, “If I were him, I would immediately get his agent in a room and fire him immediately because he is supposed to be advising him on signing that six-year deal with no get out clause.”
It’s ridiculous, really. It’s absurd to say that someone said, “Oh, I’ll be able to get out at the end of the season,” to borrow someone else’s opinion of football. Really? Come on, please.

‘Wrong way, ‘
The former England striker continued, “I’ve always said there are two sides to every story, but my feelings are the same: he’s handled it the wrong way.”
Even making this statement last night seems like it didn’t help anyone, which he didn’t even need to do.
Isak had been promised an improved contract, but Newcastle decided to delay because they had been under pressure to adhere to financial sustainability regulations.
Newcastle said in a statement late on Tuesday that they could welcome Isak back into the squad despite his sadness over his comments.
A club official never made a statement stating that Alex could leave Newcastle United this summer.
Our best players are still a part of our family, and Alex will be welcomed back when he is ready to play alongside his teammates.
Since joining Real Sociedad in 2022, Isak has scored 62 goals in 109 appearances, including the winner against Liverpool in the League Cup final earlier this year, which put an end to Newcastle’s 70-year wait for a domestic trophy.
Liverpool have already overhauled their squad, which won the Premier League title last year, with a budget of around $300 million.
Following the tragic passing of Diogo Jota and the departures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, they have also recovered over $ 200 million in sales and are still interested in attacking options.
Before the two clubs’ next Premier League game on Monday at St James’ Park, any agreement is unlikely to be reached.
