Alexander Isak publicly posted that the club broke promises about an agreement that would allow him to leave and reiterated his desire to move amid Liverpool interest. Newcastle replied that no club official committed to letting him go and that no adequate offers arrived. The transfer window closes on September 1. Eddie Howe confirmed Isak will not be involved in the Liverpool match and would miss a second straight game after the 0-0 at Aston Villa. Isak continues to train away from the main squad and has not met the manager this week. Howe says Isak is contracted and wants him back, calling the situation regrettable but resolvable. With 23 goals, Isak was second on the Premier League scoring chart.
He is contracted to us. He is our player, Howe said at a news conference that was dominated by questions about Isak. My wish is that he'd be playing on Monday night with us, but he won't be, and that's regrettable at this moment. But 100 percent I want to see him back in a Newcastle shirt. Howe said Newcastle justifiably responded to Isak's social media post midweek even though ideally he'd want to keep such matters behind closed doors.
Isak broke his silence on his discontent at Newcastle by posting a statement on Instagram, saying the club has broken promises about an agreement that would allow him to leave amid interest from Liverpool and reiterating his desire to move. Newcastle responded to Isak's outburst by saying no club official had made a commitment to let the striker leave and they had not received a good enough offer from another team for the Sweden international. The transfer window closes on September 1.
