Newcastle United and Alexander Isak’s relationship has deteriorated further as both parties struggle for a solution to a seething transfer fallout involving the Swedish forward, MySportDab reports.
The former Real Sociedad striker has hugged the headlines since the onset of the transfer window due to his attempt to force through a transfer exit this summer to Liverpool.
He missed the club’s preseason tour and was training alone at his former club Real Sociedad training ground in Spain before returning to England to join the Magpies after the preseason tour.
Notably, his return was met with a strong and disciplinary verdict by the club. Newcastle United Eddie Howe refused to allow him join the team training ground, insisting he must show the desire and discipline to return to the team before being reintegrated.
At the time of filing this report, there is no immediate end in sight to the saga with both parties still at loggerheads.
Now, according to David Ornstein, Isak has aggravated the situation with a controversial and incendiary decision.
The report claims, the sensational forward has decided that he will not play for Newcastle United again and consider his career with the Tyne-based outfit over even if the transfer window closes.
This means he may sit out on the bench and be missing from matchday squads next season if Newcastle United doesn’t sell him this summer.
While this will put Newcastle United under pressure to sell him this summer, it is yet unclear whether the club will back down from the seething row.
They had turned down a lucrative £100m+ offer for the player from Liverpool with the latter set to submit another improved bid.
The anticipation is building over how this drama will unfold in the remaining days of the summer transfer window.
