Newcastle United has set a policy to allow striker Alexander Isaac to transfer, the British daily Telegraph reported on the 1st (Korea time).

Isaac's future has been the biggest topic in the transfer market this summer. He was absent from the Korean tour at the end of July due to injury, but was later seen training normally. It has been observed that Isaac strongly wants to move to Liverpool, which showed interest in him. Liverpool have offered Newcastle a £110 million transfer fee. But Newcastle refused and ran parallel. Newcastle's desired transfer fee is reported to be £150 million, the highest ever in the Premier League.

In the end, Isaac exploded. Isaac, who was selected as the PFA Team of the Year on the 20th of last month, announced his position on social media after missing the awards ceremony. "In fact, the (transfer) promise has already been made and the club has known my position for a long time. It is misleading to act as if these problems are just being revealed now, and 'If promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship cannot continue. That's the situation I'm in now. Why change is in everyone's best interest, not just for me.




Newcastle also immediately issued a rebuttal. Isaac's statement called him `disappointed.' `Isaac is under contract and has never made any commitment that club officials will be able to leave Newcastle this summer.'

Newcastle also added 'We want to keep the best players, but we understand their wishes and listen to them. 'As explained to Isaac and his representatives, we must always consider the best interests of the club, the squad and the supporters in every decision'We have made it clear that the terms of this summer's transfer have not yet been met. We do not foresee such conditions being met.

Newcastle eventually took a step back amid the countdown to the end of the transfer market. The Telegraph says Newcastle are willing to allow Isaac to go to Liverpool. However, the transfer fee of 130 million pounds must be met. Although it has cut £20 million from the previous £150 million, it is still higher than Liverpool's previous offer.




Isaac signed a six-year contract in 2022 after moving from Real Sociedad to Newcastle. Newcastle could hold him until the summer of 2028. However, it is difficult to turn a blind eye to transfer fee income at a time when the value peaked every year with double-digit scores after advancing to the Premier League. When the relationship has already gone awry, it is difficult to say that it is a gap that can be sealed just by sitting down. In the end, sending Isaac and getting the maximum profit is expected to be the most realistic scenario for Newcastle. With one day left before the end of the transfer market, attention is being paid to how the transfer company will develop.
