Alexander Isak’s shocking social media statement, which was released on Tuesday evening, has been officially addressed by Newcastle United.
Isak published an Instagram story in which he made allegations of unfulfilled promises at Newcastle and publicly expressed his intention to depart the football club.
It follows the striker’s decision to withdraw from first-team responsibilities in order to facilitate a transfer to Liverpool this month.
Newcastle rejected Liverpool’s £110 million transfer proposal for Isak.
Alexander Isak’s statement
In light of the ongoing rumors regarding his future at Newcastle, Isak was unable to attend the PFA Awards Evening on Tuesday.
Isak announced on Instagram that he was honored by his peers by being named to the PFA Premier League Team of the Season for 2024/25, in response to his absence and circumstances at Newcastle.
“Initially, I would like to express my gratitude to Newcastle United and my teammates for their unwavering support.”
“I will not be present at the ceremony this evening.” I did not feel comfortable being present in the midst of all the events.
“I have maintained my silence for an extended period of time while others have spoken.” This reticence has enabled individuals to promote their own interpretation of the events, despite their awareness that it does not accurately represent the actual words and agreements that were made behind closed doors.
“The truth is that the club has been aware of my situation for an extended period of time, and promises were made.” It is misleading to present these issues as if they are merely emergent.
“The relationship cannot endure when promises are violated and trust is shattered.” That is the current state of affairs for me, and it is for the benefit of all parties, not just myself, that change is necessary.
Newcastle United respond to Alexander Isak’s statement.
Newcastle was unaware that Isak would be issuing a statement in advance; however, they have responded to the striker’s message with an equally forceful response.
It stated, “We are disappointed to have been informed of a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening.”
In response, we would like to emphasize that Alex is still under contract and that no official from the club has ever indicated that he will be able to depart Newcastle United this summer.
“We are committed to retaining our most talented players, but we also acknowledge that players have their own preferences and are willing to consider their perspectives.” As previously communicated to Alex and his representatives, it is imperative that we consistently prioritize the well-being of Newcastle United, the team, and our supporters in all of our decisions. We have been unequivocal in our assertion that the conditions for a sale this summer have not been met.
“We do not anticipate that those conditions will be satisfied.”
“This is a football club that is proud of its traditions and we are committed to maintaining the family atmosphere. Alex is still a member of our family and will be warmly greeted back when he is prepared to reunite with his teammates.
“Alexander Isak.”
