Newcastle replies Isak over ‘broken promises’ statement

Premier League side, Newcastle United have responded to the ‘broken promises’ statement from want away striker, Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak said in his statement that promises have been "broken" by Newcastle United and "the relationship can't continue" as he looks to force through an exit this summer

In a later statement, a "disappointed" Newcastle said: "We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.

"We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views.

"As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met."

Isak has been the biggest talking point of the summer window, which closes on 1 September.

But Liverpool are yet to return with an improved offer for the 25-year-old.

Will the Reds bid again? Will he rejoin first-team training in the meantime? What happens if a deal is not completed by the 1 September deadline day?
