Dan Burn acknowledged Newcastle players can only manage what is within their control due to transfer speculations surrounding Alexander Isak. Isak missed traveling with the squad due to a thigh injury, as rumors of him potentially leaving St James' Park arose. Liverpool and clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested in Isak, creating a dilemma for Newcastle right before the new season. Despite potential transfer benefits, Newcastle isn't under pressure to sell, and players like Bruno Guimaraes express a desire to retain their key talents.
"If we lost any player it would upset a tight-knit group that's been together for two or three years now. Obviously any player that leaves, it doesn't help, but from our point of view [we have to] just control what we can control."
"We want to keep our best players. [Isak] is not here because he's having treatment in Newcastle. He is a top striker, his [record over the] last three seasons speaks for itself, he's a top player."
