Alexander Isak Not in Contract Talks with Newcastle

Newcastle United are currently not engaged in contract negotiations with star striker Alexander Isak, whose existing deal runs until 2028. While Isak had a stellar 2023/24 season, scoring 25 goals in 40 appearances, both the club and his representatives are satisfied with his current terms, which include a salary of £120,000 per week. Despite earlier discussions about a potential extension, these have stalled, raising concerns that Isak may seek a transfer if Newcastle fails to qualify for the Champions League this season. Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing Isak, adding urgency to his situation at Newcastle. Manager Eddie Howe has acknowledged the complexity of Isak's contract status but emphasized the club's desire to retain him. The lack of significant investment and uncertainty about the club's trajectory could influence Isak's long-term commitment.
