Alexander Isak stated that promises were broken and that trust has been lost, prompting him to train alone while his future remains uncertain. He says he informed Newcastle of his desire to leave long ago and that silence allowed others to distort events. Isak was subject to a reported £110 million bid from Liverpool and earned a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the 2024-25 season, but he did not attend the awards ceremony due to ongoing issues. Newcastle responded that no official commitment was made that he could leave and that he remains under contract, while acknowledging player wishes and club interests.
I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. This silence has allowed people to perpetuate their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors, he added. The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. Acting as if these issues have only just emerged is misleading.
When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue, Isak wrote on Instagram stories on Tuesday evening. The Sweden international, who was the subject of a 110 million pounds ($148.34m) bid from Liverpool earlier this month, was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the 2024-25 season. However, he chose not to attend the ceremony, where Liverpool's Mohamed Salah was named Player of the Year, due to ongoing issues surrounding his future.
We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract , Newcastle said. We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views. As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions.
