Alexander Isak Exit Looms As Newcastle Continue Hunt For Replacement

‎Newcastle’s Premier League campaign opened with a goalless draw at Aston Villa, raising expectations around Alexander Isak’s potential transfer to Liverpool.

‎Insiders believe the deal will become clearer after their August 25 match against the reigning champions.

‎Inside St James’ Park, frustration with Isak’s stance is rising. His conduct has become a distraction, and senior figures are increasingly prioritizing cashing in and securing the maximum possible fee over reintegration.

‎While Newcastle has initially resisted a sale, those previously blocking the move are beginning to accept that letting the striker leave may be in the club’s best interests.

‎Isak has stayed resolute in his stance, showing no sign of softening as the season begins, and remains determined to join Liverpool.

‎Friday night’s 4–2 victory over Bournemouth showcased Liverpool’s attacking prowess, reinforcing Isak’s belief that he will soon be part of the side.

‎He remains convinced that a move to Liverpool is imminent.

‎Liverpool’s original £110 million offer is going to require a decent increase, but the forward has been given fresh encouragement in the past week that the Reds remain committed to signing him.

‎Newcastle continues to insist on landing another forward before sanctioning Isak’s departure, though that search is expected to accelerate in the coming days.

‎The saga has cast a pall over Newcastle’s early-season preparations, with sources acknowledging it has disrupted their build-up to the campaign.

‎The situation was worsened by the lack of a reliable centre-forward in yesterday’s frustrating 0-0 draw against 10-man Aston Villa.
