Alexander Isak has been presented with a drastic plan to force a transfer to Liverpool, which could potentially ruin his relationship with Newcastle United forever. The Swedish striker has been at the center of a transfer saga, with Liverpool reportedly willing to break the British transfer record to sign him.

The Drastic Plan

– Unilateral Contract Termination: Isak is considering unilaterally terminating his contract with Newcastle United using FIFA’s Article 17. This move would allow him to join Liverpool without Newcastle receiving a transfer fee.

– Going on Strike: Isak has already gone on strike, refusing to train with the Newcastle first team. He has also moved out of his home in Newcastle and is training separately, demonstrating his commitment to forcing a transfer.

– Public Feud: Isak has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Newcastle, claiming the club broke promises regarding his transfer. This public feud could damage his relationship with Newcastle supporters and the club’s management.

Transfer Saga Update

– Liverpool’s Interest: Liverpool has made an initial bid of £110 million for Isak, which was rejected by Newcastle. The Reds are reportedly willing to pay up to £150 million to secure Isak’s services.

– Verbal Agreement: Isak has verbally agreed to personal terms with Liverpool, including a five-year contract worth £250,000 per week. This agreement suggests Isak is committed to joining Liverpool.

– Newcastle’s Stance: Newcastle United is determined to keep Isak but might consider selling him if they receive a suitable offer and can find a replacement ¹.

Potential Impact

– Relationship with Newcastle: If Isak executes the drastic plan, it could permanently damage his relationship with Newcastle supporters and the club’s management.

– Transfer Fee: Unilaterally terminating his contract could result in Liverpool signing Isak without paying a transfer fee, potentially saving the Reds a significant amount of money.

– Isak’s Future: The transfer saga has highlighted Isak’s desire to play in the Champions League and compete at the highest level. Liverpool’s participation in the Champions League could be a major draw for the player ².
