The Alexander Isak soap opera is far from over. The one whose name is looped in the English media for two weeks has been the subject of all speculation, and all criticism. Having a first refusal up to € 138 million (bonus included), Liverpool must submit a second proposal in Newcastle, which does not envisage the future without the Swedish. Problem, the 25 -year -old is doing everything possible to force his departure, even if it is not to go to training. The height of the insult, he even resumed with his former club, Real Sociedad, while the Magpies were at the same time on tour in Asia.
He was obviously punished and even if he returned to the club, the attacker trains aside. Everything is done to put it, for the moment in the closet. There are no collective discussion, of any moment organized by the team, even outside the facilities. The fact remains that it will be necessary to find a short -term solution. There are three weeks left of transfer window. This time can appear very long for the different protagonists of this file. Eddie Howe took advantage of a press conference last night to take stock of the situation. If he has always shown some support for Isak, the technician will always store the club.
Howe: “He obviously has a future in Newcastle»»
“”I would like Alex (Isak) to play today (against Atlético de Madrid, 5 p.m.), I would like him to train tomorrow. We would like him to be with us, let's be clearinsists the English coach. But I do not see how it could change before Aston Villa (Saturday August 16 for the resumption of the Premier League), given the current situation in which we are». According to him, Isak betrayed his commitment to the team and he has to pay for this. “”We have had discussions and it is clear at the moment that we cannot involve it in the group“, Admitting to the passage that he”Did not know how long it was going to last.»»
Howe especially hopes to see the player backtrack and express his desire to stay with the Toons. “”He is here. He obviously has a future in Newcastle. From our point of view, we would like to find it but the situation must be favorable for this to happen. There is a feeling within the team that something is wrong with the interest of the group.»Are we heading for a status quo? This is a possible scenario for the Magpies coach, who faces another problem in the problem. On August 25, as part of the second day of the Premier League, Newcastle welcomes… Liverpool. Not sure that this is arranging this situation.
