Liverpool’s camp has been thrown into fresh turmoil after shocking revelations emerged involving striker Alexander Isak. The Swedish international, who joined the club with high expectations of leading the attack, has reportedly pointed fingers at a teammate as the reason behind his ongoing goal drought. His frustrations boiled over after the Reds’ defeat to Crystal Palace, sparking internal tension and raising major questions about dressing-room harmony.
According to reports, Isak has made his feelings very clear to his agent, insisting that he will not continue at Anfield if this particular teammate remains in the squad beyond January. His words were direct and uncompromising: either the club sells the unnamed player, or he will push for an exit himself. Such a strong ultimatum has created uncertainty at Liverpool, just months after his highly anticipated arrival.
The 25-year-old forward, who arrived for a significant transfer fee, was expected to be the focal point of Arne Slot’s new attacking setup. Instead, he has endured a frustrating run of matches where goals have been hard to come by. While many fans and pundits have attributed his struggles to tactical adjustments or lack of service, Isak’s claims suggest a much deeper problem — a fractured relationship within the squad that could be undermining his performances.
Insiders claim that his issues stem from a senior player who, in Isak’s eyes, disrupts attacking patterns and fails to create space for him. Complaints of “selfish play,” lost passing opportunities, and blocked runs have reportedly fueled resentment between the two. The growing tension has not only shown on the pitch but also spilled over into training sessions, leaving the manager with a delicate problem to solve.
For Arne Slot, the timing of this bombshell could not be worse. Still early in his Liverpool tenure, the Dutchman now faces the daunting challenge of balancing squad unity while protecting one of the club’s marquee signings. Choosing to side with Isak could mean losing another influential player, but ignoring his frustrations risks pushing the Swedish striker towards the exit door.
The situation has left fans divided. Some argue that Isak should focus on improving his own finishing rather than blaming teammates, while others believe the club must back him given the financial and strategic investment they’ve made. Social media debates have even compared the situation to the famous Salah-Mane tensions that once unsettled Liverpool’s frontline.
As the January transfer window approaches, this standoff could become one of the defining sagas of Liverpool’s season. Whether the club decides to back their big-money striker or stand by the unnamed teammate, the outcome will almost certainly reshape the dynamics of Slot’s squad — and perhaps the club’s long-term future.
