Swedish striker Alexander Isak has reportedly informed Newcastle United that he will never play for the club again, signalling an irreparable breakdown between the player and the team.
According to The Athletic, Isak has made it clear that his time at St James’ Park is “completely over” and, even if he remains on the books, he intends to stay out of action.
The 24-year-old joined Newcastle in 2022 for a then-club-record fee from Real Sociedad and has been a key figure in the Magpies’ attack. However, recent tensions — details of which have not yet been disclosed — appear to have brought the relationship to a dramatic halt.
With the new season fast approaching, the situation leaves Newcastle facing a major decision over whether to sell the forward during the transfer window or risk having one of their star players sidelined indefinitely.
Isak has been linked with top clubs across Europe, with speculation already mounting about his next move.
