Overview
- Newcastle have made clear they will not sell Alexander Isak this summer, valuing him at over £150 million.
- The club plans to open contract negotiations with the Sweden international, who still has three years left on his current deal.
- Reported interest from Liverpool and Arsenal has been stymied by Newcastle’s firm stance and Isak’s apparent contentment at St James’ Park.
- Former midfielder Geremi and legend Alan Shearer both backed Newcastle’s position, suggesting a transfer would require Isak to push for an exit.
- Fresh off a Carabao Cup win and Champions League qualification, Newcastle’s improved competitiveness reinforces its appeal for top talent.
