[Saba Sports News] Recently, Newcastle forward Alexander Isak posted on social media expressing that he feels deceived and that his relationship with Newcastle has broken down. Subsequently, Newcastle released a statement claiming they never promised Isak he could leave this summer. According to British media, Isak was furious last summer when a promised salary increase was delayed. At that time, he had four years left on his contract, with a weekly salary of about £140,000. Isak’s team stated that they had made it clear to the Newcastle manager and the club in the spring that the player wanted to leave this summer, but Eddie Howe and the board had different plans. This summer, Isak missed Newcastle’s preseason tour to Singapore and South Korea due to a thigh injury, although scans showed he was not injured. He then trained alone at his former club Real Sociedad for a week, and Eddie Howe only learned about this through the media. Recently, after other players left, Isak has been training alone at Newcastle and has been excluded from a club barbecue event for refusing the manager’s proposal to return to the club. It is reported that the Swedish forward has rejected a significantly higher contract renewal offer.
