Exiled Swedish Star Faces Training Ground Freeze-Out Amid Anfield Transfer Push
Liverpool have dramatically escalated their pursuit of Alexander Isak with a blockbuster €145 million (£125m) offer, as the Newcastle striker’s relationship with his current club collapses into open hostility. The Swedish marksman – excluded from team bonding events and reportedly being ignored by teammates at training – has become the center of one of the summer’s most explosive transfer sagas.
According to reports, tensions at Newcastle’s Benton training ground have become unbearable, with captain Jamaal Lascelles allegedly urging club owners to respect Isak’s wishes to leave. The 24-year-old has even been advised to avoid being seen alone in Newcastle city center as security concerns grow. Liverpool’s improved bid – featuring £120m upfront – now awaits Newcastle’s response, with the Magpies stalling until they secure replacements like Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson or Brentford’s Yoane Wissa.
Manager Eddie Howe’s cryptic comments after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid (“everything is in play”) suggest the club is bracing for Isak’s departure, despite his contract running until 2027. With the prolific striker (27 goals last season) already having left his Newcastle home and submitted a transfer request, this high-stakes transfer appears to be entering its final, messy chapter as the September 1 deadline looms.
