Isak Adamant to Leave Newcastle Despite Summer Transfer Twist
Sports Updated: 12 August 2025 12:07 EAT
Alexander Isak has reportedly made it clear that his Newcastle United career is over, regardless of whether he secures a move before the summer transfer window closes. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the Sweden international has no intention of reintegrating into Eddie Howe’s squad and remains adamant that he will not play for the club again.
The 25-year-old, who joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, has been training away from the first team amid ongoing transfer speculation. Liverpool have been heavily linked with the striker, but no deal has yet been finalised, leaving his future unresolved as the deadline approaches.
Sources suggest Isak’s stance is firm — he will not return to the St. James’ Park set-up even if he remains on the books after the window shuts. His position leaves Newcastle facing a potential stand-off, with the club weighing their options as they attempt to resolve the situation before it disrupts the new season.
