Georginio Wijnaldum is fed up with being pulled into the Alexander Isak transfer saga. The former Newcastle and Liverpool star expressed his frustration after ESPN recirculated old quotes from him about his transfer to Liverpool in 2016.

Why Wijnaldum is Fuming

– Unfair Comparison: Wijnaldum feels his situation is being unfairly compared to Isak’s. He believes his comments from 10 years ago are being used to sway public opinion about Isak’s decision to force a transfer.

– Dragging Him In: Wijnaldum thinks it’s unnecessary to involve him in the debate, saying “This is something between Isak and Newcastle/Liverpool, please keep me out of it. Thank you.”

Context of Wijnaldum’s Comments

– Past Transfer: Wijnaldum’s transfer to Liverpool from Newcastle was amicable, with him choosing not to force a move despite knowing he wouldn’t play in the Championship.

– Different Circumstances: Wijnaldum’s situation was different from Isak’s, as Newcastle had just been relegated when he left, making a transfer less complicated.

Current Transfer Saga

– Isak’s Situation: Alexander Isak has informed Newcastle United of his intention to leave, refusing to play until he gets a move. Liverpool is reportedly interested, but negotiations have been challenging.

– Newcastle’s Stance: Newcastle has responded, stating the conditions for a sale haven’t been met and they have no intention of parting ways with Isak ¹ ².
