Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has reportedly decided that he will no longer play for the club, even if he remains at Newcastle beyond the summer transfer window. According to multiple sources, Isak is adamant he will not reintegrate into the team and retains a strong desire to join Liverpool.

Newcastle recently rejected a £110 million offer from Liverpool for Isak, who has three years left on his contract. The club has set a £150 million price tag in an effort to fend off suitors, but face challenges keeping the player at St James' Park. Manager Eddie Howe has spoken about the situation, noting that discussions about Isak's future are ongoing but that persuading him to stay is difficult.

Reports suggest Isak views his Newcastle career as over and has no wish to return to playing for them. This development adds urgency to Newcastle’s transfer plans, which have already seen setbacks with several targets slipping away. Howe is also managing injury concerns, such as Anthony Gordon’s recent ankle twist.

Despite the turmoil, Newcastle are close to securing a deal for AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw. However, Isak's stance has become a significant distraction for the club and fans as the transfer window nears closure.
