Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is currently training alone as uncertainty surrounds his future at the club. The 25-year-old Sweden international did not accompany his teammates on the preseason trip to Singapore and South Korea, citing a minor thigh injury. This absence coincided with Liverpool submitting a substantial £110 million (€126 million) bid for Isak, signaling their keen interest in signing him.

Isak subsequently informed Newcastle that he wished to explore transfer options during the summer. Instead of remaining with the squad, he traveled to Spain to train with his former club Real Sociedad before returning to Newcastle ahead of the first team’s arrival back from their Asian tour. Upon the squad's return, they were given two days off.

When the players resumed training on Wednesday morning at Newcastle's Benton base—with their families invited to join afterward—Isak was specifically instructed to come in after the rest of the squad had left. He had reported back to the club earlier that week but was isolated from the main group, indicating a clear rift.

This development amplifies the ongoing tension around Isak’s transfer saga. Reports suggest that Newcastle’s rejection of Liverpool's offer was communicated in a manner that made a follow-up bid from Liverpool appear futile at this stage. Meanwhile, Isak’s situation remains unresolved as he continues to train apart from his teammates amid the stalled negotiations.
