Isak Accuses Newcastle of Broken Promises Amid £110m Liverpool Bid

Alexander Isak has publicly expressed his desire to leave Newcastle United, accusing the club of breaking promises and betraying his trust, which has led him to refuse reintegration into the squad. The 25-year-old Sweden striker, who was the second-highest scorer in the Premier League last season, confirmed he had informed Newcastle of his wish to move away long ago and criticized the club for misleading supporters and acting as if the issues are newly emerging. Liverpool made a £110 million bid for Isak, which Newcastle rejected as they seek a British transfer record fee, reportedly up to £150 million. Isak, who was named in the 2024-25 PFA Premier League Team of the Season, chose not to attend the awards ceremony amid the ongoing transfer saga. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe acknowledged the challenging situation and said there was still a chance Isak could return, though the striker made clear that change was in the best interests of all parties. The situation has caused disruption in Newcastle's preseason and early campaign, highlighting tensions between the player and the club's Saudi Arabian ownership.
