Alexander Isak Transfer News: Newcastle Striker told club that he wants to explore other options | Football news
Alexander Isak informed Newcastle that he wanted to explore his options this transfer window.
There has been no official or official transfer request to date. There have been conversations on a new contract in Newcastle in recent months. However, at this stage, nothing has been agreed.
Isak has three years on his agreement, so Newcastle is in a strong position in terms of transfer value and values it at 150 million pounds sterling. They insist that he is not for sale.
The Swedish striker was sent home by Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, before the defeat of the 4-0 pre-season against Celtic last weekend due to the touch of speculation on the transfer following a Liverpool approach.
Isak was not part of the travel party to Singapore today, Newcastle saying that it had been left home due to a minor thigh problem and that a long-haul flight would not have helped its recovery.
But speculation is a factor contributing to Isak to be left behind in Newcastle.
Liverpool made an informal approach for Isak last week before signing Hugo Ekitike – and we think they remain huge admirers from Isak.

Eddie Howe said on Saturday that he was “confident” Isak will stay in Newcastle
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe spoke after Alexander Isak was sent back to the team’s house before Celtic defeat last Saturday:
“It was my decision. He went to Glasgow with us but I decided to send him home because of speculation around him.
“The last thing he wanted is to sit in the stands, it was not just for him. But I am convinced that he will be a Newcastle player at the end of the window.
“We have some of these players who are irreplaceable. Your best players are so difficult to find, so difficult to recruit and so difficult to develop.
“So when you have them, you have to cherish them. Of course, we are desperate to keep it as part of our team.
“I had discussions with him, but it is not abnormal. I respect a player’s career and how much it’s short. Alex was really good, he is very well trained and I realize that there will be noise around him.”
