Alexander Isak announced intentions to leave Newcastle, claiming broken promises possibly linked to a new contract and confirming Liverpool interest after a rejected £110 million offer. Newcastle denied any reneged promises and said Isak would be welcomed back when ready. Captain Bruno Guimaraes posted an image in the club's 2025‑26 home kit shortly after Isak's statement, which some interpreted as a loyalty gesture toward the squad. Reports indicate the dressing room at St. James' Park remains focused on preparing for the season and winning matches, though players reportedly hold mixed opinions and varying degrees of sympathy for Isak's stance.
Isak broke his silence on Tuesday night, issuing a lengthy explainer on the situation as he sees it at Newcastle, claiming promises were broken, potentially over a new contract, and has expressing his desire to leave Newcastle, with Liverpool remaining interested in the player. The Reds are yet to return with a second bid after their initial proposal, worth 110 million, was rejected by the Magpies.
However, before that, Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes took to social media, posting an image of himself in the club's 2025-26 home kit, minutes after Isak's statement went live. This has been interpreted by some within Newcastle circles as a show of loyalty and support, in direct response to Isak's statement. According to new reports, the dressing room is unified at St. James' Park, focusing on the task at hand which is winning football matches and making as strong a start to the season as possible.
