The Alexander Isak saga has taken another almighty twist on Tuesday night.
The Swede has tonight released a statement about his desire to leave the club, claiming “promises have been broken” from Newcastle United’s side.
He claims that the “relationship can’t continue”, with the post pushing his bid to leave the club over the next fortnight as he doubles down on his plans to depart.
Read the Instagram post in full tonight, which sees the 25-year-old react to the rumours for the very first time after he opted not to attend tonight’s PFA awards ceremony:
“I’m proud to be recognised by my fellow professionals with a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Season for 2024/25.
“First and foremost I want to thank my teammates and everyone at Newcastle United who has supported me along the way.
”I’m not at the ceremony tonight. With everything going on, it didn’t feel right to be there.
”I’ve kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn’t reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors.
”The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.
“When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can’t continue. That’s where things are for me right now – and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.
Alexander Isak.”
