Newcastle Striker Isak Publicly Disputes Club Amid £150M Liverpool Transfer Talks

Alexander Isak's attempt to force a transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool has escalated tensions, with the striker publicly accusing the club of breaking promises. Newcastle rejected a £110 million offer from Liverpool and maintains no commitment was made to allow Isak to leave during the summer transfer window. Club legend Alan Shearer criticized Isak's handling of the situation and his agent's advice, calling the public statement "an absolute mess" that "poured flames on the fire" and suggested Isak should have signed a six-year deal without a get-out clause. Shearer emphasized that Newcastle would only consider selling Isak if suitable replacements are secured and a satisfactory bid is received, with the club reportedly pursuing Brentford's Yoane Wissa as a potential replacement. Despite the ongoing saga, Isak remains under contract with Newcastle, though his future at the club is uncertain as the transfer window progresses. Both parties appear entrenched, with Shearer highlighting that the public dispute benefits neither Isak nor Newcastle.
