The transfer saga involving the Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak took a new turn after the abolition of a huge update.
After scoring 27 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle during season 24/25, Isak became one of the most sought after attackers in the match.
So far this summer, the Swedish international striker has been linked to Liverpool, Arsenal and Al Hilal.
However, it was well documented that Newcastle does not want to sell their most precious possession, and it will take a gigantic opening offer to start discussions on any agreement.
The Champions of the Premier League Liverpool would still be interested in signing the 26 -year -old despite concluding an agreement to buy Hugo Ekitike in Eintracht Francfurt.
In the middle of the noise surrounding his future, it was revealed Thursday morning that Isak had not traveled with the Newcastle team for their pre-season tour in Asia.
Take on social networks, Newcastle wrote: “Eddie Howe has a team almost entirely in great shape to choose, but Alexander Isak is missing with a minor injury to the thigh.
“Lewis Hall is available following an implementation of injuries and could appear in South Korea.”
Although the club confirmed that Isak had missed injuries, it won’t do much to facilitate fears of Newcastle fans that their attacker could leave the club before the end of the summer transfer window.
The time of this injury will add more fuel to the already burning fire surrounding the future of Isak.
Isak was omitted from the Magpies team last week when they fell to a 4-0 defeat against the Celtic Scottish champions.
Speaking of Isak at the time, Newcastle boss, Eddie Howe said: “Both (Jelinton and Isak) are in good shape but not ready to play. Alex trained and is fine, but we didn’t want to take the risk with him.”
He added: “It is difficult for me to give 100% clarity on any player. Alex is happy in Newcastle, he loves players, staff and the team. I am convinced that he will be here at the start of the season.”
