Isak tells Newcastle that he wants to leave who did not travide a pre-season tour

After months of speculation on the transfer, Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak told the club that he wanted to leave, shortly after being announced that he will not travel with the rest of the Magpies team during their pre-season tour in Asia.

Isak spoke with the club’s hierarchy and informed them of his decision, according to the chief journalist of the Daily Mail Football Craig Hope.

Liverpool was the advantages of the signing of the striker during the summer, taking over from Arsenal, who is now about to finish a move for the compatriot of Isak, Viktor Gyokerres.

The Reds would be willing to separate from the requested price of 120 million pounds sterling from the Magpies, although they are also faced with competition from the Saudi club Al Hilal.

The news comes a few hours after the announcement on the Newcastle website that Isak will not travel with the club in Singapore and South Korea, with a minor injury to the thigh as the reason for its absence.

It was in direct contrast to the Declaration of Manager Eddie Howe this weekend, when he said that the Swedish would go “absolutely” to Asia. Howe spoke after Isak did not play any role in Newcastle’s 4-0 friendly loss against Celtic, while the attacker trained alone in recent days.

These revelations fueled speculations according to which the 25 -year -old is about to seal a transfer from St James’ Park, but for the first time, the news of today confirmed that Isak pushed to a move.

Newcastle will be without the services of their top scorer 2024/25 in Asia, where they will face Arsenal in Singapore, before going to South Korea to play an All-Star team from the K-League and Tottenham Hotspur.
