Fabrizio Romano reveals Newcastle’s plan for Alexander Isak after Liverpool clash
Liverpool and Newcastle United will lock horns in a highly anticipated match this evening.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has revealed Newcastle United’s updated stance on Alexander Isak and their plan for him after they face Liverpool this evening.
The two sides are the only ones left to play this game-week and the clash promises to be an electric one. With tensions sky high, some have dubbed the fixture the ‘Alexander Isak derby’, with the player in question still currently in limbo over his future.
The striker will not be included in Eddie Howe’s squad tonight and he continues to train separately from the rest of his teammates. Isak has made it clear to Newcastle he wants to leave the club but it seems the Magpies are doing all they can to integrate him back into the team.
Newcastle United plan for Alexander Isak
Newcastle confirmed in a statement they will welcome Isak back into the fold once he is ‘ready to rejoin his teammates’. Their comments came after the player’s explosive words on Instagram, claiming trust had been lost and a move was best for all involved.
Eddie Howe has also spoken about how he would love to see Isak training and playing with the team again. Now, it seems the club plan to try and make that happen.
Romano reported: “The [match] between Newcastle and Liverpool is coming. Obviously it’s going to be an important moment because it’s going to close this story between Newcastle and Liverpool and then from Tuesday we will understand more on the Isak story – whether he’s going to Liverpool or whether Newcastle are going to keep the player.
“Newcastle, internally, hope that this week after the game Isak can return to training. Newcastle really hope that. Internally they have this feeling that they want to convince Isak to be back in training after the game on Monday.”
Looking to ‘convince’ Isak to return to the team is a very determined move from Newcastle. Their star player has publicly spoken against the club and admitted he wants to leave but the plan is reportedly still to reach an agreement to get him back into main team training.
