They waited for 70 years of silverware in March, thanks to the famous 2-1 victory with Liverpool at Wembley, which Newcastle signed up for the 2024/25 campaign in another fairy tale, as they crowned the silverware in March.
Following a £55 million move from Nottingham Forest, they booked a lucrative Champions League return and welcomed Anthony Elanga to St. James’ Park.
But as they prepare for the summer with a 4-0 drumming against Celtic last week, the Magpies are also shaken by news that their offensive amulets are desperately sought to move from the northeast.
Alexander Isaac may have solidified himself as a top-notch man since his arrival from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022, but both parties are suddenly at the heart of a messy, public divorce.
This is likely to be a decisive week for Isamuga as Hau has now publicly stated that the Swedish superstar is not part of Newcastle’s summer preseason plan.
The sad departure of St. James was now expected
By registering 23 Premier League strikes last season and simply finishing behind Liverpool icon Mohamed Sara in the Golden Boot Race, Isaac continues to emphasize his status as one of the most clinical shooters in world football.
Since arriving in the northeast three years ago, it has almost become an icon of the modern era at St. James Park. Newcastle was quietly confident when the 25-year-old puts pen on paper for his new deal.
However, despite Newcastle’s winning EFL Cup Champion on March 16th, Isaac suddenly finds himself at the heart of the main summer saga, firing at the side of Howe’s side for his famous Champions League return.
Committing to what has become a nasty divorce from the Magpie, burning many bridges that are infamously burning suggests that the former Sociedad starlet is intended to push the blockbuster move to Liverpool.
While the real-life Premier League champions may have already broken a string of financial records this summer, Arne Slot’s side is reportedly still eager to complete what would be another sensational arrival to Anfield.
It has already spent more than £250 million, suggesting that Slot’s side is watching Isak’s astounding £150 million move despite announcing the arrival of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt Striker last week.

Newcastle identifies their important ISAK exchange
It seems almost inevitable that Isaac is on his way out of St. James Park as Isaac said over the weekend that Hau is not part of the preseason team traveling to Korea this summer.
Newcastle may have made it quite clear that they are not bullied to accept any kind of cut price trade, but the magpies are already exploring the ISAK alternative of their dreams.
While debate about the potential moves of Brentford’s Marksman Joan Wissa may have been stagnant over the past week, it is suggested that Newcastle has begun to move forward with discussions over their outstanding summer goals.
While it may have appeared at the beginning of the month when Benjamin Sesco may have been on his way to Arsenal, Hau’s side is a long-term worshiper of RB Leipzig Ace, who still feels they can seduce the 22-year-old to complete the Premier League switch.
It also suggests that discussions on personal terms have already been taking place as Slovenia International took 13 Bundesliga strikes last season.
