Alexander Isak could be on his way out of Newcastle United this summer.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Swedish striker told the club he “would like to leave” and was assured he could “look at other options,” but that agreement has yet to materialize.
Speaking to Ace Odds, Di Marzio said, “For Isak it depends on Newcastle, because the player talked to the coach and the club at the end of the season because he would like to leave but Newcastle are not open to that, at the moment.”
“So it depends on Newcastle and Isak’s discussion, if the club will be open to having him on the market.
“Newcastle is a tough club and they want to keep their best players for next season, including Sandro Tonali.”
“Alexander Isak would like to look at other options because at the end of this season, he had the promise from the club and the coach but Newcastle haven’t acted seriously on that yet.”

Liverpool remain interested in the 25-year-old, as do other top European clubs.
Isak joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad for around £63m [$86m] in August 2022 and since then has scored 62 goals in 109 appearances across all competitions, with his performances helping the Magpies qualify for the Champions League twice and win the Carabao Cup in March.
Despite growing interest, Newcastle are reportedly unwilling to let Isak with the club even preparing to offer him a significant wage increase to secure his future and keep him as a central figure in their long-term plans.
