Alexander Isak may have damaged his chances of joining Liverpool, says Alan Shearer(Image: Serena Taylor, Newcastle United via Getty Images)

Alan Shearer has outlined the conditions for Newcastle to sell Alexander Isak to Liverpool, but he believes the striker has shot himself in the foot.

Isak finally spoke out publicly following his attempts to force a move, accusing the club of breaking promises in a statement on social media.

The club responded quickly by expressing disappointment at Isak’s message and denying his claims, although they insist he could still return to the fold.



He believes the 25-year-old could still get the move he craves, but only if Newcastle bring in replacements and Liverpool can get closer to their £150million asking price.

One striker the Magpies are attempting to sign is Brentford's Yoane Wissa.

If Newcastle can get players in to replace him, and if Newcastle receive a bid they want to accept, then it may happen.

“If that doesn’t happen, then he stays, and it becomes really messy.

If Liverpool want him, then they put in an offer Newcastle will accept, and if Newcastle can get two players in, because that’s what they need, one to replace Isak and one to replace [Callum] Wilson, then fine.

“They’ve been trying to do that for the past four or five weeks and haven’t been able to.

The club said: “We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening.

“We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.

“We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views.

“As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired.
