Alexander Isak is reportedly trying to leave Newcastle United this summer to explore new opportunities.
According to Athletice, the absence of a Swedish striker in a pre-season friendly club against Celtic, as well as their ongoing Asian tour, the questions-and now anonymous club sources suggest that the player has expressed the desire to advance.
While Newcastle officially said that Isak had missed the pre -season action due to a minor thigh problem, the news suggests that it could be more than just the injury that maintains it. The uncertainty surrounding his future allegedly led to internal discussions, and the club is now preparing for the possibility of a high -ranking departure.
Despite speculation, Newcastle remains determined to maintain a 24-year-old and submitted an improved contract that would maintain him in the club until June 2028. With the best clubs-including Liverpool earlier in the window-can soon be tested the position of Newcastle.
Liverpool examined the potential step For ISAK, but they met with a firm attitude from Newcastle, which was appreciated by an attacker of approximately 120 million. Instead, the Merseyside Club decided to sign a French striker Hugo Ecitike of Eintracht Frankfurt for 69 million – Newcastle also watched.
Isak has been unveiled since his arrival from Real Sociedad in 2022. Last season he counted 27 goals in all competitions, including a major strike in the Carabao Cup final, which helped Newcastle to end their 70 years of waiting for a home trophy. His performances founded him as one of the best attackers in the Premier League.
Given his age, profile and consistent target output, Isak now attracts the interest of the European elite. For Newcastle, the situation is a dilemma: cash on players with its maximum value or double when keeping it with a long -term business.
Either way, with a growing summer window and a growing interest, the coming weeks could be decisive in deciding whether Isak remains the cornerstone of the Newcastle-Nebo project one of the most important departures in the summer.
