Isak has shaken Newcastle with his announcement to leave, while Louis Saha calls for the Premier League to tighten regulations to prevent similar contract disputes from recurring.

Alexander Isak has sent shockwaves through English football after posting a message on Instagram declaring his desire to leave Newcastle United due to “broken promises.” The Swedish striker, who has been closely monitored by Liverpool all summer, believes the relationship between him and the club is beyond repair.

Liverpool has already strengthened their attack with new signings Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, but still aims to bring Isak to Anfield to maintain their dominance in the Premier League.

In his post, Isak wrote: “I am proud to be recognized by my professional peers with a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Season 2024/25. First of all, I want to thank my teammates and everyone at Newcastle United for their support throughout this journey. I have remained silent for a long time while others spoke out.

The truth is promises were made, and the club has known my position for a long time. When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue. That is my current situation and why a change is in the best interest of everyone, not just myself.”

Isak has openly opposed Newcastle to secure a transfer

This message is seen as the end of the relationship between Isak and Newcastle. As tensions rise, former striker Louis Saha has spoken out, urging the Premier League authorities to intervene to protect the fairness of the competition. In an exclusive interview with AdventureGamers.com, Saha stated:

“The current situation is far from ideal, and the league may need to enforce rules regarding players under contract. They should have the obligation to play until contractual issues with their agents are resolved. If a player refuses to play, there must be clear consequences and a defined process so no one is caught off guard.”

Meanwhile, Newcastle is considering replacements for Isak. One target is Brentford’s Yoane Wissa. The Congolese striker has shown his desire to join the “Magpies” by removing all Brentford-related information from his personal profiles. Newcastle previously made a £40 million offer, which was rejected as Brentford demands at least £50 to £60 million.

Although Wissa once threatened to stop training and playing for Brentford, he has since returned to first-team activities. However, his ambition to wear Newcastle’s jersey remains strong and could become a new hot topic in the transfer market.

Isak’s case is not just an internal Newcastle matter but also a warning bell for the entire Premier League. Without strict management measures, cases of players openly opposing their clubs to force transfers will continue, directly impacting the Premier League’s reputation and overall stability.
