Sweden international of Eritrean descent Alexander Isak has rejoined Newcastle United for training amid recent transfer saga.
Isak, who is on the radar of Liverpool missed his outfit preseason training tour in Asia in an attempt to force a move this summer.
While the Premier League club embarks on Asia tour, the forward was spotted training personally in Spain at former club, Real Sociedad.
Newcastle can heave a big sigh of relief with the forward returning to training as the club gear up for the new season. Meanwhile, Isak has a meeting scheduled with the club’s management to discuss his future.
Recently, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe addressed the rumors that the club had rejected a transfer offer from Liverpool for Alexander Isak.
Having seen their bid rejected, Liverpool has halted their pursuit of the enterprising attacker. Despite not ruling out the move entirely, the Premier League giants will be waiting for the Magpies to the initiative, having rejected their first bid.
The Reds are in no hurry to submit a fresh offer for Isak. The Premier League giants are waiting for the Magpies to secure a replacement before resuming negotiations for a potential transfer.
Newcastle have been pushing for Isak to sign a new, improved contract that would include a mandatory sale clause for next season. But Alexander himself is firmly against this idea and has staged a real boycott against the club.
Alexander Isak joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022 for €70 million and has since played 109 matches, scoring 62 goals and providing 11 assists.
