Alexander Isak has accused Newcastle of breaking a promise to him in a bombshell statement as he finally confirmed his desire to leave the club amid interest from Liverpool.
The Swedish star has gone on strike to force a move to Arne Slot’s side but remains in limbo over his future.
Isak also decided to skip Tuesday night’s PFA awards ceremony in Manchester despite being named in the team of the year because of the situation with Newcastle.
Speaking publicly for the first time on the saga, he said: ‘I’ve kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn’t reflect what was really Isaid and agreed behind closed doors.
‘The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.
‘When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can’t continue. That’s where things are for me right now and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.
