Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has publicly expressed his frustration and intention to leave the club amid a transfer standoff with Liverpool. Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, was the only player named to the 2024-25 PFA Premier League Team of the Year who did not attend the awards ceremony in Manchester. Instead, he released a statement on Instagram, revealing that he has "lost trust" in Newcastle after what he described as "broken promises" from the club.

In his statement, Isak said he had kept quiet for a long time while others spoke, which allowed misinformation to spread that did not reflect what had been privately agreed behind closed doors. He emphasized that the club has known his position about wanting to leave for some time, and that Newcastle's recent behavior was "misleading." Isak concluded that "when promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue," signaling his belief that a move is in the best interest of all parties involved.

Isak is strongly linked to a move to Liverpool, where he is keen to join, but Newcastle has so far rejected Liverpool's bids. The clubs are expected to face each other in a Premier League match soon, and the ongoing dispute has led to Isak missing Newcastle's opening game of the season against Aston Villa. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has expressed a desire for a swift resolution.

At the PFA awards, Liverpool had significant representation, adding tension to Isak's absence as he would have shared the stage with multiple Liverpool players had he attended. The situation remains unresolved, with Liverpool reportedly awaiting signs from Newcastle that the club is willing to negotiate before submitting another offer for the striker.
