Standoff at Newcastle: Alexander Isak Refuses to Rejoin Squad

There’s growing tension on Tyneside as Alexander Isak has reportedly cut ties with Newcastle United — refusing to train or reintegrate with the first team under any circumstances.

According to insider David Ornstein, the Swedish striker’s situation has reached a boiling point. Despite public encouragement from manager Eddie Howe for the 24-year-old to “get his head right” and return to the group, Isak has continued to boycott training sessions — sending a clear message to the club hierarchy.

Sources close to the player suggest that Isak feels Newcastle are actively “damaging his career” by blocking a proposed move to Liverpool. The Reds are understood to have submitted an official offer, but Newcastle have rejected it, citing the bid as "well below valuation." The Magpies reportedly demand at least €150 million to part ways with their prized forward.
