Overview

  • Alexander Isak completed a British‑record £125 million transfer to Liverpool on deadline day after a protracted standoff with Newcastle.
  • Dan Burn said he has “nothing but good wishes” and “no animosity” toward Isak, acknowledging fans’ frustration but stressing player careers are short.
  • Isak sent a brief farewell in the team’s WhatsApp group thanking teammates, with Burn saying replies were positive and the episode brought the squad closer.
  • Newcastle moved to cover the loss by signing forwards Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa, with Eddie Howe calling for patience as the squad adjusts.
  • Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson explained Isak did not feature on Friday because he had only three sessions and no pre‑season, calling it too risky to use him.
