Here’s the facts: Isak is one of the hottest central strikers in world soccer and he’s only 25. He’s under contract for three more years. He claims he was promised a dramatically increased contract by Newcastle, who subsequently changed up their executives and then yanked the promise. Liverpool want him, and he wants Liverpool.

Alexander Isak has gone public for the first time about his discontent at Newcastle by saying the club has broken promises and that “the relationship can’t continue.”

Alexander Isak accused Newcastle United of breaking promises and misleading supporters in a social media statement on Tuesday that confirmed he wanted to leave the Premier League club.
