Newcastle’s Alexander Isaac hopes to explore his options as Liverpool is considering a big bid for the striker, and past comments from the striker suggest what he is looking for from the next club
Alexander Isak of Wantaway Newcastle Striker previously outlined his ambition to win the title, with Premier League champion Liverpool providing the move. The Reds weren’t wasting time sharpening their team for next season with a string of well-known and expensive acquisitions.
Isaac’s head was turned as Liverpool was ready to show his hands. However, after talking in March, it may be that the clue to Isaac’s future has always been there.
He acknowledged his commitment to magpies, but his words suggest that Isak is probably looking for a level of success and contract that cannot be delivered right now, as Newcastle is hamstruggled by PSR (Regulations of Profit and Sustainability).

“I’ve said many times, I really look a lot, but I don’t think much about my future,” Isaac said four months ago. He continued by clarifying his desire to acquire top-level silverware.
“There’s a chance (to win things). Yeah, like I said, I’m not thinking about summer, but that’s what we’re talking about when the season is over.
“No (contract) consultations are still being held. I have high ambitions. I am trying to create my own history in Newcastle. I am happy with what I have done so far, but I am always looking forward to it.”
Isaac is believed to be personally frustrated after Liverpool’s first approach was rejected by the Northeast, according to Sky Sports.
Last week, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe confirmed that Isaac will not be taking part in Newcastle’s preseason tour after the players wanted the club to explore options about his future.
The absence of the Swedish people was blamed for minor thigh problems. However, this follows an episode in which Isaac was sent home prior to Newcastle’s 4-0 preseason loss and before his defeat to Celtic, with Howe deciding that the players were not in the right framework of mind to play following speculations of his future.
The event then complicated for the first £69 million, when Liverpool captured Hugo Ekichike from Entracht Frankfurt.
Although Isak reportedly viewed this as a possible end to his hopes of moving to Anfield, Reds boss Arne Slot appears to be trying to build a bold system featuring Isak and his new French striker.
In his three years at Newcastle, Isaac became an icon. He scored 62 goals, helping him win the Carabao Cup last season, defeating the club in the finals where he is said to be interested in participating this summer.
But Isaac’s ambitions are clear and speaks volume. He wants to win the trophy. And as one of the best strikers in the Premier League, he also wants to earn the right wage, which is said to be his target of over £250,000 a week.
Earlier this month, Isaac’s agent Gonzalo Geitan told the Saudi publication Aliyadya that Isaac’s future could reach a conclusion earlier than later.
“We certainly study and analyze all the options,” he said. “ISAK may be approaching establishing the next step for players without revealing details about whether to move or stay in Newcastle.”
However, bids have not yet been realized for all the raucous and powerful Liverpool’s current power in the transfer market. Isak also remains in the current transaction for three years. Newcastle is also believed to treasure players for £150 million. This means that Liverpool will likely need to repeat their UK transfer records and close their recurring contracts.
Quized on Isaac’s future this week, Hau said, “He’s still our player. He’s signed with us. We’re in control of what’s next for him to some extent.
“I would like to believe that all possibilities are still available. My wish is that he will stay, but that is not in my full control. We have not received formal offers from any club to Alex. My wish is that he will stay.
