Alexander Isak (26, Liverpool), Victor Jockeres (27, Arsenal), and Yoan Weissa (29, Newcastle United) have something in common. After having the 'best season', it showed the 'worst behavior'.
Isaac and Jockeres, the same Swedish national strikers, pushed ahead with the transfer of other teams as if they had promised during the transfer window of the English Premier League (EPL), which ended on the 2nd (Korea time). In the process, he did not look back and was willing to have friction with his original team.
Isaac posted an official statement on his personal Instagram on Aug. 19 to publicly demand the transfer. "I've been silent for a long time while people have spoken about this. Because of the silence, people are making their own arguments as if they were discussed and agreed behind the scenes. The promise has been made. The club has known my position for a long time. It is misleading to act as if the problem is revealed now. If promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot last. That's my situation now. And change will be in everyone's best interest, not just me."

Newcastle immediately issued a statement saying it was "very sorry" to see Isaac's post on social media this evening. Isaac's contract period is still pending. None of the club's officials have made any promises that Isaac can leave Newcastle this summer. The conflict between Newcastle and Isaac continued until the deadline for the transfer market was imminent. Isaac was only able to wear a Liverpool uniform for 130 million pounds (about 245 billion won), an EPL record, after Newcastle recruited Nick Boltemade for a club record (£69 million, about 130 billion won) from Stuttgart.
Jockeres also struggled to leave his former team Sporting. As interest from major European big clubs poured in, they made a move to push ahead with the transfer. The player expressed his intention to protest by deleting SNS posts related to the club, and the player's agent continued to play the media, saying the club did not keep its promise. Eventually, the situation worsened as he told the club that he would not participate in pre-season training.
Sporting couldn't break the player's stubbornness. In the end, he accepted Arsenal's offer of 85 million euros (including options, about 138 billion won) in transfer fees on the 9th of last month. During the transfer process, Agent Yokeres reportedly gave up the transfer fee.
Wissa, a winger who played for Brentford, is a case of 'sudden acceleration' at the end of the transfer market. On the 31st of last month, personal social media posted "There has been a lot of speculation about my future in Brentford over the past few weeks. So I wanted to be honest and direct about the current situation. It has remained silent throughout the summer, but with only a few hours to go before the transfer window, it seems that he will have to make it clear that he wants to leave Brentford. Despite several official proposals throughout the summer, the club is unfairly blocking my path."

Weissa added: "From the day I joined Brentford in 2021, I have always committed 100 per cent to the team. I'm proud of what we've been building together, and I never took the opportunity to play for this club for granted. I've always been professional on and off the field. "It's a celebratory honor to wear this uniform and score 49 goals in 149 appearances. "Earlier this summer, I discussed the transfer with senior management, including key directors and new managers. On the occasion, I made it clear that I would seek new challenges. In the course of these discussions, my agent and I confirmed that if we received a reasonable offer, the club would not interfere. This was also communicated in writing."
Brentford pressed me to keep my promise to allow me to move to a new club, and for a fair fee.
Wisa did not specifically mention the team name, but it was at the time of reports that he was receiving Newcastle's attention. In the end, Wisa wore a Newcastle uniform for a transfer fee of 55 million pounds (about 103.5 billion won) on the closing day of the transfer market.
In the end, Isaac, Jockeres, and Wisa achieved their wishes with an act of resistance.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace defender Mark Gehi, who has been consistently connected to big clubs for the past two to three years, is expected to move to Liverpool this summer. He could use a group like other players, but he waited quietly for an agreement between the clubs to be reached after expressing his intention to transfer to Liverpool early in August. On the last day of the transfer window, Palace allowed a medical test, sparking a transfer to Liverpool. A transfer fee of 35 million pounds (about 66 billion won) was offered. However, with the medical test completed smoothly, Palace suddenly turned on the transfer. It is known that it failed to recruit a substitute. In the end, Guehi left his regrets behind and returned to Palace.
Guehi, the England national team, has not posted related posts on social media since the transfer process and the transfer failed. I don't hear any word of protesting to the club. Soccer fans praise him as a `true professional' over his acceptance of his fate. The transfer market is getting more and more dizzy as time goes by.
