Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle United is uncertain as fresh interest from abroad sparks speculation over a potential summer move.

Newcastle were without star striker Alexander Isak for their friends against Celtic on Saturday. The Magpies’ star striker’s future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent days with Liverpool indicating they were prepared to break the British transfer record for the second time this summer.

Newcastle believe patience is required and, while they have already had to recalibrate after failing to secure top targets, the interim transfer team — driven by Andy Howe, the assistant head of recruitment and Eddie’s nephew, and Steve Nickson, the head of recruitment — are continuing to pursue multiple deals across several positions.

According to reports, Liverpool target Alexander Isak could end up leaving Newcastle United for 'less than' £86m on one condition.

It has been revealed why Alexander Isak missed Newcastle United's friendly against Celtic on Saturday afternoon. The 25-year-old striker was heavily linked with a move to Anfield before Liverpool turned their attention to Hugo Ekitike.

Newcastle United have turned their attention to finding a striker, despite confidence that Alexander Isak will remain at St James Park. That’s according to RMC Sport, who report that despite numerous inquiries,

Newcastle want Ekitike. Liverpool want Isak. Is there a world in which selling one and bringing in the other makes sense for Eddie Howe?

So I think there’s all sorts of challenges with the deal, so as I say, I think the most likely scenario is Isak stays at Newcastle.” 👀
