The striker of the Sweden national team and one of the best players of last season Alexander Isak published an official appeal in his Instagram account to explain his decision not to attend workout and no longer play for his Newcastle United Club.

“I am proud that my colleagues have recognized me in the team of PFA PFA Premier-Liga-2024/25,” Isak wrote. “First of all I want to thank my teammates and everyone in Newcastle, who supported me during this time.

I’m not present at the ceremony tonight. From all that happens, it did not look appropriate.

For a long time, I was silent until others said. This silence allowed people to promote their own version of events, although they know that it did not reflect what was actually discussed and agreed to the closed doors.

The reality is: the promises were given, and the club has long known my position. Now to act as if these issues are arising for the first time – it is deceptive.

When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue. That’s how I have – and that is why changes in favor of everyone, not just me, ” – said Isaac.

Recall Alexander Isak remained the priority goal of Liverpool in the transfer market, but Newcastle United has refused to sell his main star. Against this background, Isaac went to a boycott, which is a “trend” among players this summer.
