Newcastle United’s striker, Alexander Isak, remains at the center of swirling transfer rumors.
Consequently, key figures at St James’ Park are growing increasingly frustrated with the constant speculation.
This season, Isak has been in sensational form, and his displays have captured the attention of many. Moreover, his consistent brilliance makes it tougher for the Magpies to hold onto the 25-year-old, especially if the club misses out on Champions League qualification.
In an emotional moment off the pitch, a United legend once proclaimed, “I CRIED in my car the day I left Man Utd!” Furthermore, this outburst came as he vehemently denounced the so-called “lies” about his time at Old Trafford.
Newcastle remains an ambitious outfit, and they are set to play in the Carabao Cup final for the second time in three seasons. As a result, the club hopes to persuade Isak to commit his future to them for the long term.

According to the Telegraph, Isak has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Arsenal. Therefore, Newcastle insiders are not taking kindly to the persistent chatter surrounding the Swedish international.
Newcastle sources firmly believe they can keep hold of the forward. In fact, Isak’s contract is secured until 2028, which gives the club plenty of time to address any potential issues and plan for the future.
Nevertheless, the Magpies are aware of future challenges. Although they are not at risk of losing him on a free transfer anytime soon, there is concern that in two years they might be forced to sell him below market value to avoid an even worse outcome later.
Meanwhile, clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal are in desperate need of a world-class attacking option. Additionally, with the Reds’ star forward Mohamed Salah just a few months away from free agency, the race to secure top talent intensifies, adding further pressure to Newcastle’s delicate balancing act.
