Alexander Isak has been accused of "declaring war" on Newcastle United, with a potential January transfer compromise being suggested as a solution to the ongoing transfer drama.
The football world was left stunned on Tuesday when Isak released a statement announcing his relationship with the North East club is now over.
The forward's public accusations against Newcastle, claiming they broke promises and stating he "can't continue" and that "change is in the best interests of everyone," have fuelled speculation about his future.
Reacting to Isak's late-night statement on Tuesday, Newcastle expressed disappointment at the striker's message in their own statement, but the club didn't close the door on the 25-year-old returning to the team.
