Isaac missed the Korean tour against Team K League and Tottenham Hotspur. Although the examination revealed that there was no abnormality. I chose to stay at home. His desire to transfer was expected to be the main reason for his absence from the Korean tour.

Isaac, an African-Swedish man, made his professional debut in AIK and played Dortmund and Sociedad before joining Newcastle in 2022. He scored 23 goals and 6 assists in 34 Premier League matches last season, scoring more than 20 Premier League goals in two consecutive seasons. He is currently considered a striker representing the English Premier League along with Elling Holan (Manchester City).

Until recently, it has been predicted that he will go to Liverpool. British daily newspaper Daily Mail said on the 28th (Korea time) 'Isaac wants to join Liverpool, and Liverpool secured funds by transferring Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich for 65 million pounds (about 120.5 billion won). 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).

However, contrary to this outlook, Liverpool's future is uncertain as it turns to other players instead of Isaac. In the meantime, Isaac is training individually at Sociedad Training Center, not Newcastle, and the ideal atmosphere is getting stronger.
