"We wanted the transfer window closed to have a bit of clarity on it. I have been in football long enough to understand that for a player, the careers are short and they have got things they want to achieve. Alex is a mate and it is a tough situation because you want him to be around and helping the team, but also understand for him what he needs to do personally. I have nothing but good wishes for Alex."
"I am glad it is done,"
"three unforgettable years"
Alexander Isak completed a £125million transfer from Newcastle to Liverpool on deadline day after pursuing the move and refusing to train or play for Newcastle. Newcastle initially resisted selling but agreed a deal once replacements were signed. The club issued a brief statement that omitted mention of Isak’s contributions, while Isak thanked fans on Instagram for "three unforgettable years" and teammates paid tribute. Dan Burn said he has nothing but good wishes for Isak, stressed the need for clarity after the transfer window, and acknowledged players’ short careers and personal ambitions. No animosity was expressed by Burn.
