I want to believe that all possibilities are still open to us," he added. "My hope is that Isaac will stay, but it is not a matter of which I can decide perfectly," he replied.
Isaac missed the Korean tour against Team K League and Tottenham Hotspur. The examination revealed that there was no abnormality, but he is staying at home. His desire to transfer was expected to be the main reason for his absence from the Korean tour.

It is now only left with an official proposal' Then 'Newcastle must make a decision now. Whether to bring out player value as much as possible through negotiations, reject all offers and notify Isaac of his stay. There are disagreements within the club about which method is best, saying 'Newcastle wants to stay, but if Isaac makes clear his intention to transfer, he can force the club to make a commercial decision. Especially if Liverpool's proposal reaches 150 million pounds (about 278.1 billion won).
