Liverpool transfer target Alexander Isak has released a bombshell statement on his future, accusing his current club Newcastle United of ‘broken promises’.
The Reds have seen a £110 million plus add-ons bid turned down by the Magpies.
The player has not been part of the Newcastle squad amid the speculation surrounding his future.
But the club are holding firm on their stance and that would have to change for Liverpool to return with another offer.
On Tuesday night, Isak was named in the PFA Premier League team of the year, he was not in attendance at the ceremony, but released a strong statement just minutes after the announcement.

Sky has slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the 2025/26 season, saving members £192 and offering more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more.
Sky will show at least 215 live Premier League games this season, an increase of up to 100 more.
Liverpool will hope that the latest move by Isak will convince Newcastle to soften their stance on a potential sale.
Ekitike has scored in both the Community Shield and the his one Premier League appearance so farm while also providing an assist in the 4-2 win over Bournemouth.
The Reds have plenty of players to provide support to the main striker.
With Champions League football again on the horizon, having two strikers who are proven goalscorers will be a big boost to Slot ahead of a long season.
Given the money that could be spent on Isak, he is likely to come in as first choice, meaning that despite the strong start to his Liverpool career, Ekitike could find himself on the bench.
Forwards: Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha, Mohamed Salah, Federico Chiesa
