Isak is angry

Alexander Isak has been in a tense stand-off with Newcastle United's board after the club rejected a £110m bid from Liverpool.

Newcastle refuse to sell Isak to Liverpool.

According to The Telegraph , the Saudi Arabian owners' firm decision to insist that the Swedish striker was not for sale caused a serious rift in the relationship between the two sides. Isak reacted violently, refusing to accept reality and was forced by coach Eddie Howe to train separately, completely separating himself from the first team. Until he calmed down and agreed to stay, he would not be allowed to play for the "Magpies".

Sources say Isak wants to leave this transfer window, even returning to train at his old club Real Sociedad without permission. Liverpool have left open the possibility of a return for a record fee in England. Newcastle are determined to stick to their £150m valuation and have said they will not change their mind, even if they buy a new striker.

Manager Howe has been careful to avoid talking about Isak's future, insisting that all decisions are up to the higher-ups. However, he has also left open the possibility of re-integration if the situation "gets right". Newcastle believe that after the market closes, they can negotiate a contract extension with a release clause to keep Isak long-term.

Isak has three years left on his contract, but the tension between him and the club has left Newcastle fans frustrated and angry. However, the board remains optimistic that the 25-year-old striker will calm down and continue to shine at St James' Park when the 2025/26 season begins.
