JUST IN: Alexander Isak breaks silence with ‘broken promises’ statement after missing PFA awards
Alexander Isak has chosen to break his silence and issue a powerful statement regarding his current situation at Newcastle United, clarifying why he feels the time has come for change.
“I wasn’t at the awards ceremony tonight because, given everything that has been happening, it didn’t feel right for me to be there,” Isak revealed. “For a long time, I have kept quiet while others have spoken on my behalf. That silence has allowed certain people to push their own narrative, presenting a version of events that they know does not reflect what was truly said or agreed behind closed doors.”
The Swedish striker went on to stress that the breakdown in his relationship with the club stems from unfulfilled promises and a lack of transparency.
“The reality is simple: commitments were made to me, and the club has been fully aware of my stance for quite some time. To now act as though these issues have only just appeared is disingenuous. The truth is, trust has been broken. When that happens in football—or in any relationship—continuing together becomes impossible.”
Isak emphasized that his desire to move on is not only about his own ambitions but also about what he believes is best for all parties involved.
“At this stage, it’s clear that the relationship cannot continue as it is. That’s why I believe change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself. Sometimes, the healthiest step forward is to accept when something has run its course.”
The 25-year-old’s words underline the gravity of the situation at St. James’ Park, confirming what many fans had feared in recent weeks: the striker’s future lies away from Tyneside. His public admission not only sheds light on the fractured trust between player and club but also signals a pivotal moment in Newcastle’s summer, with Eddie Howe now left to confront the reality of losing one of his most important players.
