Alexander Isak’s agent has come under fire for his handling of the Liverpool transfer saga. Newcastle United’s star striker has been embroiled in a bitter dispute with the club, with his agent’s advice being questioned by many. Isak reportedly told Newcastle at the back end of the season that he wanted out, amid Liverpool interest, and his latest attempt to force a transfer was to move out of his home in the North East.

Criticism of Isak’s Agent

– Luke Edwards: Newcastle reporter Luke Edwards has called out Isak’s agent for his role in the saga, saying, “He signed a six-year contract with no release clause. His agent negotiated that. Trying to force your way out with three years left on that deal was always going to be a very risky road to go down.”

– Ian Dennis: BBC journalist Ian Dennis has also weighed in on the situation, stating that Isak has “behaved like a spoilt child” and shown “a great level of disrespect to Newcastle United and, in particular, the supporters who’ve idolised him”.

– Alan Shearer: Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has delivered a scathing assessment of Isak’s handling of his transfer standoff, urging the striker to “sack his agent immediately” after the player’s explosive Instagram statement.

Potential Outcome

Despite the criticism, it’s likely that Isak will leave Newcastle United for Liverpool. The Reds are reportedly preparing a new bid worth around £130-£140 million, which could be enough to secure Isak’s services. Newcastle values Isak at £150 million and might only sell him if they can find a suitable replacement ¹ ².

Newcastle’s Plans

Newcastle is reportedly planning to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford to replace Isak. The deal could be finalized in the next 24 hours, paving the way for Isak’s departure. However, finding a suitable replacement might be challenging, given the time left in the transfer window ¹.

Isak’s Reputation

Isak’s handling of the transfer saga has tarnished his reputation, with many questioning his loyalty and commitment to Newcastle United. If he does join Liverpool, he’ll need to work hard to regain the trust of fans and rebuild his reputation ².
