Despite Newcastle's firm stance that the 25-year-old striker will not be sold, Isak has been pushing for a transfer to Liverpool this summer.

Newcastle reportedly placed a hefty $200 million (£150 million) price tag on its star striker and insisted that two new players must be signed before it would consider letting him go.

His actions have stirred controversy in the football world, drawing criticism from both Newcastle and Liverpool legends.

Swedish football icon Ljungberg has also voiced his disappointment at the messy transfer saga, stating that Isak's behaviour this summer is not typical of him.

What's happening is something that doesn't feel like Isak.

"It's like you say Fredrik, this doesn't feel like Isak.

The 48 year old also expressed his wish to see Isak join Arsenal last October, describing him as "extremely special".

He had said: "I like Isak

He suggested that Isak should "sack his agent on the spot" for providing him with "bad advice".

Shearer also criticised the player's naivety in trusting a supposed 'gentleman's agreement', and lambasted Lemic for failing to include a release clause in the initial contract.

Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben and a PIF delegation visited Isak at his home before the match against Liverpool, in a bid to convince him to stay at St James' Park.

However, subsequent reports suggest that the striker, keen to leave, informed the club he still wishes to join Liverpool after crucial discussions with the management.
