Africa-Press – Mauritius. Alexander Isak’s absence against Liverpool only highlighted the storm surrounding his future. The Swedish striker has asked to leave Newcastle in hopes of joining the Reds, but the club refuses to give in. His public criticism over broken promises created even more tension, sparking frustration among fans while fueling speculation about a transfer.
Determined to keep him, Newcastle’s directors Jamie Reuben and Jacobo Solis reportedly visited the player at home on Monday before the Liverpool clash. They tried to convince him to stay, and talks of a possible contract extension even surfaced.
However, with Hugo Ekitike already making an impact at Anfield, Isak fears his chance to join Liverpool is slipping away as pressure mounts.
With less than a week left in the transfer window, the situation grows urgent. Newcastle is still chasing a striker after missing out on several targets, including Delap, Joao Pedro, and Ekitike, while talks with Brentford for Yoane Wissa stall. Liverpool is watching closely, but it remains uncertain if they will make another move for Isak before the deadline.
