Just days after manager Eddie Howe confidently declared that Alexander Isak would “absolutely” be part of Newcastle’s pre-season squad traveling to Singapore and South Korea, something major has shifted behind the scenes.
The Swedish star has now been completely omitted from the squad list and the timing couldn’t be more suspicious.
According to sources close to the club, Isak has informed Newcastle of his desire to explore a move away this summer, igniting serious speculation that a blockbuster transfer may be on the horizon.
Could it be Liverpool pulling strings behind the scenes?
Could a record-breaking bid already be in the pipeline?
Or is another top European club ready to swoop?
Whatever the truth may be, this sudden exclusion has fans and pundits on high alert. It’s no longer just rumor something big is brewing.
For a player of Isak’s caliber to be left out after public reassurances from his manager… it speaks volumes. Either a deal is already in motion, or a major fallout has occurred behind closed doors.
One thing is certain: Isak’s future at Newcastle now hangs in the balance.
Stay tuned this story is just getting started.
