Even Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe does not know where exactly Isak will end up when the transfer window ends on September 1st. His saga continues to destabilise Newcastle United, with the press always asking many questions whenever they attend a press briefing of Newcastle United.
Ahead of the blockbuster against Liverpool United on Monday night at St. James Park, Eddie Howe provided an update on Alexander Isak’s saga, where he revealed that the situation is the same just like last week.
“No, there’s been no change [in Isak’s situation],” he said. “He won’t be part of the squad for this weekend’s game.
“My preference for these things is that it doesn’t happen publicly because everything is better dealt with behind closed doors.
“But needs must and the club has spoken, probably justifiably so in that moment.
“Of course [I hope he can be re-integrated]. He is contracted to us, he’s our player.
“My wish is he would be playing on Monday night with us, but he won’t be and that’s regrettable.
“But I want to 100 per cent see him in a Newcastle shirt”, Eddie Howe said.
The Magpies’ fans at Villa Park last Saturday unfurled a banner to insult Isak, calling him a ‘bast***d for deciding to leave unceremoniously.
Liverpool’s 120 million pounds bid for the Swedish striker was rejected immediately by Newcastle United. The club demands 150 million pounds to let Isak join Liverpool.
With just nine days to end the transfer activities in England, it remains unknown where Isak will play his football in the current season.
Newcastle expects a new bid for the striker and will entertain anything around 130 million pounds.
