That hasn’t quietened the noise around Isak, though, with reports claiming he is considering a move to Saudi Arabia.

Given that the Magpies are owned by the Gulf state’s Private Investment Fund, there would be huge surprise if a deal is concluded.

That said, Isak is clearly unsettled

The forward didn’t feature in Saturday’s friendly defeat against Celtic and his agent has since admitted that he is considering the player’s “next steps”.

“We are indeed studying and analysing all options, and we may be close to finalising the next step for the player,” Gonzalo Gaitan told Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah.

“Without revealing any details regarding whether Isak will transfer or stay with Newcastle.”

Now the Telegraph reports that Isak feels “insulted” by the club’s decision not to offer him a new contract, with a sense of “acrimony” building.

Former co-owner Amanda Staveley had promised Isak a new deal in 2024

A new contract offer will emerge, adds the report, one that will make Isak Newcastle’s highest earner.



Reports had indicated Eddie Howe wanted to pair Isak and Ekitike together in a 4-4-2 system.
