"Isak looks ready to leave Newcastle United (Image credit: Getty Images) Newcastle United star Alexander Isak remains at the subject of a very public transfer saga, with Swedish media weighing in the future of the centre-forward. Last night, Isak took to social media to explain his absence from the PFA Awards ceremony, explaining his position in wanting to depart Tyneside by claiming, When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue."
"I think that agents often take that hit on the player, I think it is very rare for an agent to go out and argue without having established it with the player, he said. People forget that clubs are happy to use agents to get rid of players. This is like a game of thieves and rascals, and it can be difficult for us journalists to get full insight into what is happening. It is part of the game, unfortunately."
Alexander Isak publicly explained his absence from the PFA Awards, stating, "When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue." Newcastle issued a response saying Alex remains part of the family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates. Swedish media and figures such as Fotbollskanalen editor-in-chief Olof Lundh expressed sympathy and called the situation complex. Lundh said agents often shoulder criticism, clubs sometimes use agents to move players, and the transfer market operates like "a game of thieves and rascals," making full insight difficult. The episode has left the player's future at Newcastle uncertain.
