Newcastle have reportedly promised Alexander Isak he can leave the club next summer after offering him a new contract to remain at St James’ Park for one more season. The 25-year-old is said to be pushing for a move away from the north east, with Liverpool seeing a £110million bid for the Sweden international rejected.

Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has described the situation with Alexander Isak as “complex” and “far from ideal.” Isak has made it clear that he wants to leave Newcastle this summer and was left out of the squad for their pre-season tour to Singapore and South Korea.

Liverpool's stance has become clearer after their £110m offer for Alexander Isak was rejected by rivals Newcastle United. There is little under one month of the summer transfer window to go as this situation threatens to encroach on the new campaign.
