'Newcastle striker' Alexander Isaac (25) made a bombshell remark on social networking services (SNS).
Shortly after he missed the PFA Player Award ceremony held in Manchester, England on the 20th (Korea time), Isaac said on his SNS, "The relationship with Newcastle cannot continue." he said. Swedish striker Isaac, who scored 23 goals in the league last season and 27 in a total of 42 games, has publicly expressed his desire to leave Newcastle this summer and wear a Liverpool jersey.
Newcastle are sticking to a hard-line stance that they will not allow Isaac to transfer if his £150 million transfer fee is not met with three years left on his contract. Isaac continues to train separately from the first team led by coach Eddie Howe. He also missed Newcastle's pre-season tour and did not play in the league opener.
Isaac released a bombshell statement on social media claiming Newcastle had broken their promise with him. 'I'm proud to have been named the PFA Team of the Year (Best 11) and recognized by my teammates. First of all, I wrote, 'Thank you to my teammates and everyone who supported me at Newcastle...' before getting to the point. 'I didn't attend today's award ceremony. Given all the ongoing situations, it was not appropriate to go there. I've been silent for a long time, watching what others say. 'The silence has had people push their thoughts in their own versions but they know it does not reflect the stories and the consensus that actually came and went behind closed doors.' 'The reality is there was a promise, and the club has known my position for a long time. It is misleading to act as if these problems have suddenly appeared now,' he said in a direct shot at the Newcastle club. 'If promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue. That's where my situation is right now, and that's why change is in everyone's best interest, not just me' made clear his intention to transfer. Newcastle fans and local media are shocked by Isaac's behavior, which broke the silence and posted a lengthy statement. It is taken as a de facto declaration of separation.
