Alexander Isak Issues Statement as Liverpool Becomes His Only Desired Destination
Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has publicly voiced his frustrations over broken promises at the club, intensifying speculation over his future.
The Swedish international has made it clear that he wants to leave St. James’ Park this summer, with Liverpool emerging as his sole preferred destination. Despite persistent links to other clubs, including a lucrative approach from Saudi side Al Hilal, Isak has shut down all alternatives.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Isak has been firm in his stance since July — he only wants Liverpool. The 24-year-old has communicated this directly, resisting Newcastle’s attempts to explore other transfer avenues.
For Newcastle, this creates a major dilemma. The Magpies remain reluctant to sanction a sale, but Isak’s determination to join Arne Slot’s project at Anfield adds significant pressure to negotiations.
Liverpool, aware of the striker’s position, are expected to step up talks in the coming weeks as they assess attacking reinforcements following squad reshuffles earlier in the window.
Newcastle still hope to resolve the situation, but Isak’s uncompromising stance suggests his mind is made up — and that his future lies in Merseyside.
