Newcastle break Alexander Isak agreement | OneFootball

At this point the Alexander Isak saga has rumbled on for far too long. But it's not about to end.

Both Liverpool and the Swede international will not give up on their desire. Newcastle may yet change their stance, however, they need to get a lot done before that.

One thing is clear if Isak stays, there is no easy way back for him to the Magpies. Ultimately, he will leave the club. Whether it's before September 1st, January or next summer.

This is a player who doesn't see his long-term future in Tyneside and who has every right to be extremely upset with the club at the way they have handled things this summer.

Isak may go on to play more games for Newcastle. But let's make no mistakes about it, this will not be a fully committed Isak. It's not going to be the same player that Newcastle will have on their hands as the one from before.

As Liverpool fans we know what happens. We know how this ends and it always ends up badly.

For Newcastle the situation is even worse. In Isak's statement released on Instagram, he made it clear that he felt the club had made broken promises to him.

This according to him means that the relationship cannot continue. He clearly feels betrayed and lied to.

One of those promises made by Newcastle was the fact that he could leave the club. Now the Daily Mail has reported that this was not the only promise broken by the Magpies.

According to them, a well placed source not connected to either club has claimed that Isak's fury also comes from the fact that he believed Newcastle had agreed that they would sell him if a bid in excess of £100m was made for his services.

Liverpool did exactly that with their £110m offer, which was promptly rejected. Now if this report is true you can understand Isak's frustration.

Newcastle were clearly ready to let him go according to his understand. But they've gone back on this promise. They've outright rejected a bid they supposedly said they would agree to.

With the relationship at such a boiling point, it's hard to foresee just how this situation is moved on from here. Right now it's impossible to predict.

It's hard to see a way back for Isak. It's hard to see Liverpool give up on their pursuit of the Swede international.

So even if the saga ends with Newcastle staying firm in their stance by the end of the window, it won't entirely be over. The discussions will return in January.
