Isak accuses Newcastle of breaking promises amid Liverpool interest
Alexander Isak accused Newcastle United of breaking promises and misleading supporters in a social media statement on Tuesday that confirmed he wanted to leave the Premier League club. The 25-year-old striker said he informed Newcastle of his desire to leave a long time ago. "When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue,"Isak wrote on Instagram stories. "Change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself." The Sweden international, who was the subject of a $148.34 million bid from Liverpool earlier this month according to media reports, was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the 2024-25 season. However, he chose not to attend the ceremony due to ongoing issues surrounding his future. "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." Newcastle said in a statement that no commitment was made by a club official that Isak could leave this summer. "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 and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met. "This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates." Isak missed Newcastle's goalles draw with Aston Villa in their Premier League opener on Saturday, and Eddie Howe's side are set to play defending champions Liverpool on Monday.

The striker released a bombshell statement last night, claiming "when promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue".

During the latest episode of the saga, Guimaraes took to social media and posted a picture of himself wearing a Toon shirt with no caption.

"First and foremost I want to thank my teammates and everyone at Newcastle United who has supported me along the way. "I'm not at the ceremony tonight.

Isak accuses Newcastle of broken promises amid Liverpool transfer interest
NEWCASTLE: Alexander Isak has publicly accused Newcastle United of breaking promises and misleading supporters in a social media statement confirming his desire to leave the Premier League club. The 25-year-old forward stated he informed Newcastle of his departure wishes a significant time ago. He wrote on Instagram stories that when promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue. Isak emphasized that change represents the best interests of everyone involved, not just himself. Newcastle United did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding these serious allegations. The Sweden international was reportedly the subject of a substantial £110 million bid from Liverpool earlier this month. His impressive performances earned him recognition in the PFA Premier League Team of the 2024/25 season. However, he chose not to attend the awards ceremony due to ongoing issues surrounding his future at the club. Isak explained that he maintained silence for an extended period while others continued speaking about his situation. This silence allowed people to perpetuate their own version of events despite knowing it didn't reflect reality. He added that these individuals were aware their narratives didn't match what was actually said and agreed behind closed doors. The reality remains that specific promises were made to the player by club officials. Newcastle United has known his definitive position regarding his future for a considerable duration. Acting as if these issues have only recently emerged constitutes misleading behavior toward supporters. Isak missed Newcastle's goalless draw against Aston Villa on Saturday due to these ongoing circumstances.
