Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has issued a dramatic statement casting serious doubt over his future at the club, despite being named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Season 2024/25.
In a message released on Tuesday night, the Swedish international expressed gratitude to his teammates and supporters but revealed deep frustrations with the club’s hierarchy. His words strongly suggest a breakdown in trust between him and Newcastle United.
“I’m proud to be recognised by my fellow professionals with a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Season for 2024/25. First and foremost, I want to thank my teammates and everyone at Newcastle United who has supported me along the way.”
However, Isak, who was notably absent from the PFA awards ceremony, explained his silence over the past months and accused unnamed figures of twisting the narrative surrounding his future.
“I’ve kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn’t reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors.”
The 25-year-old striker, who has been central to Newcastle’s resurgence in recent seasons, bluntly declared that broken promises had shattered his relationship with the club:
“The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can’t continue.”
Isak concluded by hinting that a summer exit may be inevitable, stating:
“That’s where things are for me right now – and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.”
Implications for Newcastle
Isak’s statement will come as a major blow to Newcastle United, who had been fighting to keep their star forward amid growing interest from top Premier League rivals and European giants. His public declaration raises serious questions about his future at St. James’ Park and could spark a transfer saga in the final days of the summer window.
The club has yet to issue an official response.
