Arsenal top target Alexander Isak confirms that there are no ongoing concrete discussions concerning a new contract with Newcastle United, and similarly, no talks have transpired regarding a possible departure from St James’ Park.
Newcastle United’s star striker, Alexander Isak, has recently spoken out about his future at the club amidst growing interest from Premier League giants Liverpool and Arsenal. The Swedish international, who has been pivotal in Newcastle’s resurgence, remains focused on his current team and their ambitions.
Isak, who joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022, has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 23 goals across all competitions. His performances have not only helped Newcastle secure their first major trophy in 70 years with a Carabao Cup victory over Liverpool but have also made him one of the most sought-after forwards in European football.
Despite the swirling rumors, Isak has clarified that there are no ongoing discussions about a new contract with Newcastle. Speaking to Swedish media, he stated, “There is a lot of writing outside, but within the club, no one is talking about anything like that. From within the club and from our side, there are absolutely no discussions. It’s just full focus on playing for me.” He emphasized his commitment to Newcastle, expressing his love for the city and the club.
Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly keen on acquiring Isak’s services, with Arsenal considering him a top target to bolster their attacking options. However, Newcastle has made it clear that they value the 25-year-old at over £120 million, a price tag that could deter potential suitors. The club is also reportedly working on a new deal to secure Isak’s future, with plans to make him one of their highest earners.
Isak’s immediate focus remains on helping Newcastle achieve their goals for the season, including securing a Champions League spot. He remarked, “I’m not thinking about the future. I just want to perform for Newcastle. Now we won the cup, but we want to finish strong and reach the Champions League games. That’s where my focus lies.”
As the summer transfer window approaches, Isak’s future is likely to remain a hot topic. For now, Newcastle fans can take solace in the fact that their star striker is fully committed to the club’s cause, aiming to build on their recent success and continue their upward trajectory in English football.
