English football is experiencing a rare case of players refusing to play for their teams in the hope of a transfer. Alexander Isak continues to hope that before September 1, when the English transfer market closes, he will change teams by moving from Newcastle to Liverpool.
Initially, Newcastle were reluctant to let the Swedish player leave and placed a stratospheric price tag of €170 million on his transfer. Liverpool, interested in him, offered “only” €127 million, which did not satisfy Newcastle.
The club made it clear that they would not sell Isak for that amount and asked the player to show up for training. But he has been out for two weeks, determined to join Liverpool and refusing to be put under the orders of coach Eddie Howe. Although club officials went to his home today to meet him and make it clear that they have no plans to sell him for less than 170 million euros, the player has remained steadfast in his decision.
An absurd situation, as Liverpool have no intention of paying 170 million euros and Newcastle have no intention of accepting a much lower offer. Meanwhile, British media make it clear that the leaders of the Saudi Arabian "PIF" fund, who are Newcastle's investors, do not want to allow their main player to leave for any amount.
This has made everyone eagerly await September 1st, to find out if Liverpool will prepare the record check for English football, or if Isak's strike will continue in one of the strangest episodes of the transfer market ever experienced.
