Remains optimistic about Isak's potential continued tenure at Newcastle

In the 2020-2021 season, Alexander Isak proved his mettle in the English Premier League, scoring an impressive 23 league goals for Newcastle United. This tally was just one less than that of Mohamed Salah, a testament to the Swede's prolific form.

However, the 2021-2022 season has seen a twist in Isak's story. Current manager, Eddie Howe, admitted the situation with Isak is 'regrettable,' as the striker chose to leave Newcastle United in the summer of 2025, joining Liverpool for a record-breaking fee of approximately £144 million.

Despite this, Howe expressed a desire to see Isak return to the squad. He praised the striker's professionalism, commitment, and good character, stating that Isak is an outstanding player. However, individual conversations regarding Isak's future at Newcastle are best kept private.

Isak's departure has left a void in the Newcastle squad, with his teammates reportedly missing his presence. If Isak were to return, the players would reportedly welcome him back with open arms. However, Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney have expressed doubts about the Newcastle players' willingness to accept Isak back into the squad.

In a statement earlier this week, Isak cited 'broken promises' as the reason for his desire to leave Newcastle. Currently, he is training alone, away from the team, due to the ongoing transfer saga.

In a surprising turn of events, Isak will miss Newcastle's fixture against Liverpool on Monday, a match that both Howe and Isak had expressed a desire to be a part of. The manager remains hopeful that Isak will be playing for Newcastle against Liverpool in the near future.

As the transfer window approaches, the future of Alexander Isak at Newcastle United remains uncertain. One thing is for sure, though: if he were to return, he would bring with him a wealth of talent and the potential to make a significant impact on the team.
