"Burn, who has two caps for his country, said he has "no animosity" towards Isak. "We wanted the transfer window to close to have a bit of clarity on it," said Burn. "For me, I'm happy it's over." He added: "Alex is a mate so it's a tough situation. You want him around to help the team but also for him he has things to do personally so I have nothing but good wishes.""
"Isak joined Newcastle in a 60m move from Real Sociedad in 2022 and scored 27 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions last season. He helped the Magpies win the Carabao Cup in March before starring as they finished fifth in the Premier League to secure Champions League qualification. But amid interest from Premier League champions Liverpool this summer, he released a statement in which he said promises had been "broken" by Newcastle, adding their relationship couldn't continue."
