Alexander Isak finally broke his silence recently when he spoke about his desire to leave Newcastle United instantly and join Liverpool. He released the statement that he was promised by the Newcastle official that he would be allowed to leave the club by this summer, but now the Newcastle officials are breaking their promises by keeping him in the club forcefully.

The whole world of football has been rattled by this statement, and everyone was desperately waiting to see the response of Newcastle United. The club has also released a statement recently where they responded to the statement made by the Swedish International, and they still look adamant in their position.

Newcastle United responds to Alexander Isak's statement

"We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.

"We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views.

"As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met."

Alexander Isak recently blamed Newcastle United for breaking promises

From the response of Newcastle United officials, it is pretty much clear that they are still Adamant in their position and they do not want to let Alexander Isak go. But when a player wants to leave, keeping him forcefully, especially in a situation like the one we are talking about here, is extremely disrespectful to the club.

Newcastle United responded by making things clear that they do not want to let him go

It is pretty much understood that Newcastle does not want to let their best player go, but when the player is absolutely desperate to leave and after he has released statements like the one he released recently, Newcastle United should not keep the player, since they have a rich history. Letting Isak go is the right choice.
