Newcastle is going through a particularly tense period with his Swedish Star striker, Alexander Isak. The 25 -year -old always refuses to play or train with the team, insisting for a transfer to Liverpool. The club received an offer of 138 million euros, but estimates Isak at more than 170 million euros, therefore refusing to yield. According to The SunNewcastle could inflict a fine on the attacker if his refusal prevents him from participating in an official match, like that Saturday against Aston Villa, first day of the Premier League. For the moment, Isak is continuing an individual training with his agent and does not participate in collective activities, having not been invited to the team barbecue or authorized to train with the first team. Today, a return to the ranks of the Magpies seems practically inconceivable, while the player and his entourage maintain their position, in the hope of forcing an imminent departure.
Despite this situation, Eddie Howe spoke at a press conference, he insists that Newcastle must remain active on the market and prepare the season seriously. “No, there was no change, all my attention was paid to training, villa and the transfer market”he said, adding that Isak's situation “Has been unchanged for some time, and this will continue to be the case”. The coach added: “I said several times this summer that I wanted him to train and play. But I think these conversations must remain deprived. »» Howe wanted to recall that he has an excellent relationship with Isak, “Indispensable with each player”and confirmed that Newcastle was actively looking to recruit an attacker: “We seek to sign an attacker and the best possible. It is a very small field, however. Whatever Isak's situation, we have to recruit an attacker ”. For the moment, Howe believes that Isak, who will miss the call this weekend on the first day of the Premier League, could stay in Newcastle in September and now focuses on the first match of the season with an almost complete workforce, including new recruits Jacob Ramsey, Malick Thiaw, Aaron Ramsdale or Anthony Elaga.
