The Alexander Isak saga has taken yet another twist, with the Swedish forward set to skip the upcoming PFA Awards ceremony, according to a report by the BBC’s Sami Mokbel.
Isak’s absence is seen as further evidence of the growing rift between the Newcastle star and his club, especially as speculation about a blockbuster move to Liverpool continues to dominate headlines.
Liverpool’s Interest Still Burning 🔴
Jurgen Klopp’s successor Arne Slot has already made his intentions clear, with the Reds tabling an eye-watering bid in the region of £110 million earlier this summer. Newcastle, however, immediately dismissed the offer, insisting that their talisman isn’t for sale.
Despite that firm stance, the atmosphere between Isak and the Magpies feels increasingly fractured. The striker’s refusal to reintegrate fully with the squad has only heightened talk that his future lies away from St James’ Park.
Can the Relationship Be Fixed? 🤔
Some optimists point to past examples of players patching things up with their clubs after transfer sagas — Liverpool fans will remember Luis Suárez famously staying another year before heading to Barcelona.
But in Isak’s case, the fallout feels far more public and deep-rooted. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe may talk about reintegration, yet it’s hard to imagine the 25-year-old simply slotting back in as if nothing has happened.
Liverpool the Only Destination? 🚨
The forward’s desire is clear: he wants Liverpool. Just as clubs are entitled to protect their own interests, players also chase the opportunities they believe will define their careers.
For Newcastle, losing a fan favourite would sting badly — but with Liverpool ready to smash records to secure his signature, this may become a battle of financial willpower and pride.
The next few weeks will decide whether Newcastle can stand firm, or if Liverpool’s relentless pursuit finally gets its reward.
