‘The relationship cannot continue,’ striker says
Attending PFA awards on Tuesday ‘didn’t feel right’
Alexander Isak’s standoff with Newcastle threatened to descend into outright civil war on Tuesday night as the Sweden striker accused his club of breaking promises and betraying his trust. In an incendiary Instagram message he claimed their relationship “could not continue”.
Isak has been endeavouring to force a move to Liverpool all summer but, so far, at least Newcastle have proved resistant, rejecting one £110m bid as they struggle to find replacements.
The striker was due to have attended the Professional Footballers’ Association players’ player of the year awards in Manchester on Tuesday having been nominated for the top prize but he sent his apologies via his explosive social media post.
