Shearer Urges Isak Agent Sacking Amid Newcastle, Liverpool Transfer Dispute

Alexander Isak is embroiled in a contentious transfer saga as he seeks to leave Newcastle United for Liverpool, with Newcastle rejecting a £110 million bid and valuing the striker at £150 million. Isak, who signed a six-year contract without a release clause, alleges that Newcastle broke promises, fueling tensions between the player and club. Newcastle denies these claims, stating no such commitments were made, and the club remains firm on their valuation. Former Newcastle captain Alan Shearer has heavily criticized Isak's agent, Vlado Lemic, for poor contract advice and urged Isak to sack him, calling the situation a "mess" caused by misplaced trust in a supposed 'gentleman's agreement.' Shearer also condemned Isak's decision to speak out publicly and refuse to train or play, suggesting it harms both the player and club, though he left open a path for reconciliation if Isak apologizes and returns before the transfer window closes. The saga continues to escalate, casting doubt on Isak's future at Newcastle and the potential for a smooth transfer to Liverpool.
