The Isak Saga in Newcastle…
In a plot twist worthy of a Hollywood drama, Alexander Isak has been told to unpack his bags and sit back down because Newcastle isn’t letting him visit Liverpool this summer. It’s like telling a kid he can’t go to Disneyland, and instead he’s stuck in the world’s longest line at the DMV. With transfer talks heating up, Isak has been training solo, probably working on an interpretive dance about frustration, while Eddie Howe confirmed the player may not feature against Aston Villa next week.
According to the Telegraph, Newcastle’s owners aren’t budging an inch, and Isak’s push to leave has become as welcome as a porcupine in a balloon factory. Howe remains in talks with Isak, trying to orchestrate a comeback that’ll be bigger than a rock band’s reunion tour. Despite a hefty £110 million offer from Liverpool being turned down, Newcastle plans to keep Isak, much like someone’s stubborn attempt to hold onto a bag of chips despite a flock of seagulls hovering ominously overhead.
