Alexander Isak reportedly has no intention of ever playing for Newcastle United again as he tries to force through a transfer to Liverpool.
The Sweden striker has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield this summer despite the Magpies’ insistence that he is not for sale.
Liverpool submitted a £110 million bid for Isak, which was swiftly rejected by Newcastle. The Tyneside outfit want their star player to renew terms on his contract, which runs until 2028, but he has not engaged in talks over a new deal.
Isak ‘finished’ at Newcastle amid Liverpool transfer saga
Indeed, Isak so intent on joining the Reds that he is “adamant” he will not play for Newcastle ever again, according to The Athletic‘s David Ornstein.
The 25-year-old regards his career at the club as “finished” and has “no desire to reintegrate into the squad”, even if a sale does not happen before the transfer window closes.
It’s claimed that, after Newcastle informed him they would not be offering a new contract in order to comply with the Premier League’s financial regulations, Isak told the club the 2024/25 campaign would be his last at St James’ Park.
Ornstein’s sources at Newcastle “deny that this was expressed and believe the forward planned to discuss the situation” after the end of last season.
Isak “told” manager Eddie Howe of his desire to leave two weeks before the season concluded and “reiterated” this on a call with the boss following their defeat to Everton on the final day.
