The Alexander Isaac Transfer Saga has refused to close immediately after Newcastle United striker decided to join Liverpool this summer.
Magpies have already refused a bid from the Premier League champions for the Star Striker this summer.
Eddie Howe’s team is in a tricky situation at the moment, as the attackers’ desire to leave the club and the appeal of playing for Liverpool proves too good to ignore.
The transfer window was overwhelming for Howe and his recruiting team as they lost the signatures of targets like Joa Pedro and Benjamin Sesco, who joined Chelsea and Manchester United respectively.
Alexander Isaac decided not to play again for Newcastle
Now, the latest decision from ISAK is to make things worse for Newcastle United followers.
According to Athletic, the 25-year-old Swedish International understood internally that his time at St. James Park was over, whether or not the relocation would come to fruition before the end of the current window.
Isak’s attitude is clear. He doesn’t want to reintegrate into the Newcastle team, even if an exit has not been agreed this summer.
This occurs despite Newcastle’s official position, despite the forward being “not on sale.” But behind the scenes, it is said that the club is quietly evaluating the market, weighing out options when the right offers arrive.
The situation escalated in the context of strong interest from Liverpool. Liverpool sees it as a potential marquee to sign to enhance its attacking options.
Liverpool’s recruitment team is closely monitoring development and may be ready to act if the opportunity presents itself.
Eddie Howe is facing a tough decision right now
Losing Isaac would be a huge blow for Newcastle. His quality players are hard to find in the market. He scored 27 goals for Magpies last season, helping him beat Liverpool in the final to win the Carabao Cup.
His departure will require an urgent and high quality replacement that will not be easy for the transfer window to shut down within 20 days.
This standoff leaves Newcastle with a difficult decision. There is a risk of trying hard and maintaining an unstable player. Or negotiate his sales while you still have time to reinvest.
The latest decision from ISAK has certainly sounded the St. James Park alarm bell, and the world of football is keenly looking at Newcastle’s next step.
Agreed: Newcastle United approaches signing former Liverpool player
