Alexander Isak has publicly expressed his frustration with Newcastle United, stating that the club has "broken promises" regarding his future. The Swedish striker's comments come amid a standoff with Newcastle after the club rejected a £110 million bid from Liverpool for his services. Isak's dissatisfaction has led him to consider forcing a move away from the club this summer.

In a candid Instagram post, Isak explained his absence from the Professional Footballers' Association awards, where he was named in the Premier League team of the season. He emphasized that he has remained silent for too long while others have misrepresented the situation. "Promises were made, and the club has known my position for a long time," Isak stated. He indicated that the current relationship with Newcastle cannot continue if trust is lost, signifying his desire for a change to be in the best interest of all parties involved.

In response, Newcastle issued a statement clarifying that no commitments had been made to Isak regarding his potential departure this summer. The club reiterated their intention to retain their best players while acknowledging the players' wishes. However, they made it clear that the conditions for a sale have not been met, suggesting that Isak remains under contract and will not be leaving unless a satisfactory agreement is reached.

As the summer transfer window approaches its deadline on September 1, speculation around Isak's future continues to intensify. Liverpool is expected to make another bid, potentially in the region of £120 million, but it remains uncertain whether Newcastle will be willing to part with the player. Meanwhile, Isak's training situation remains in limbo, as he has been training away from the first team while discussions about his future unfold.

With Newcastle actively seeking to bolster their squad following the departure of Callum Wilson, the club faces the challenge of navigating Isak's desires while also finding a suitable replacement should he depart. The ongoing dynamics between Isak, Newcastle, and potential suitors like Liverpool are set to define the closing weeks of the transfer window.
