Alan Shearer has told Alexander Isak to "sack his agent on the spot" for giving him "bad advice".

And as it stands, they are sticking to their guns, refusing to consider any bids below their £150m valuation of the player, who is contracted until 2028.

Isak signed a six-year contract with Newcastle upon joining the club in 2022, without a release clause inserted.

However, Newcastle legend Shearer thinks Isak was naive to rely on a supposed 'gentleman's agreement', before calling out his agent, Vlado Lemic, for failing to include a release clause in his initial contract.

A clearly frustrated Shearer told Betfair: “I mean, oh my God, what a f***ing mess his agent has made of this, honestly.

If I was him [Isak], I’d get his agent in a room and sack him on the spot immediately, because he is meant to be giving him the advice to sign that six?year deal and there’s no get?out clause.

“I mean, it’s ridiculous.

I mean, come on.”

Reports suggest the Newcastle star was promised a bumper new deal by Amanda Staveley, though she and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi sold their shares in the club to the Saudi Public Investment Fund in July 2024.

It is reported that Paul Mitchell, who later joined as the club’s sporting director, immediately cancelled talks with the player, believing the three years left on his contract meant he didn’t need a new one.

Shearer has now urged Isak to reveal precisely what assurances were given to him to clear up the confusion.

He signed his six?year contract without a release clause in it.
