Howe Admits Star Isak's Future Is Now Out of His Hands

TYNE AND WEAR, ENGLAND, AUG 9 – Newcastle United faces a transfer dilemma as Liverpool’s £110 million bid for Alexander Isak was rejected and contract talks remain unresolved, delaying his season debut.

  • Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe confirmed on August 9, 2025, that striker Alexander Isak is training alone and not involved with the main group at the club's home grounds.
  • This situation follows ongoing transfer discussions, including Liverpool's £110 million bid for Isak, which Newcastle rejected while valuing him near £150 million.
  • Howe revealed he has held private talks with Isak and is trying to persuade him to play, but he admitted he will not make the final decision on Isak's future.
  • He said, "If it was that easy, I'd have done it yesterday," and expects no change in Isak's status before Newcastle's match against Aston Villa next Saturday.
  • This ongoing situation increases pressure on Newcastle's transfer plans as the club pursues new signings like AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw to strengthen the squad.
