Alexander Isak has reportedly told Newcastle United that he intends never to play for the club again, as the Swedish striker sees his future away from St James’ Park. The Magpies’ pre-season preparations have been thrown into turmoil after Isak was left out of the tour of Asia last month.
The latest revelation to rock the North East is that the 25-year-old forward has already left the four-bedroom household he had lived in for three years since his 2022 arrival at the club. Strong interest from Premier League champions Liverpool is said to have unsettled the striker, and this was initially taken as the reason behind his move.
However, reports have now emerged that Isak was always going to relocate this summer because of factors that don’t have anything to do with Arne Slot’s men. So, while the timing of the move appears to be calculated on Isak’s behalf, the Daily Mail have revealed otherwise.
Alexander Isak’s House Move Amid Liverpool Interest
Per the Mail’s report, the decision to leave the property is unconnected to Isak’s desire to move to Anfield. Instead, the house that he was renting for three years on a 12-month basis was targeted by burglars on two separate occasions, prompting the move.
A family of four were even jailed for targeting the Sweden international’s home in May 2025. People from the local area even told the Mail that Isak and his family had always planned to uproot after the distressing incident, which took place twice.
The four culprits are said to have stolen the footballer’s sports car, almost £70,000 worth of jewellery and a further £10,000 in cash. So while the property was up on the market during Isak’s struggle with Newcastle to earn his dream move to Liverpool, it appears the two separate events have coincidentally overlapped.
The Newcastle talisman’s victim impact statement after the testing time explained how he felt ‘uneasy’ and ‘feared’ the incident could happen again. It read:
“Things changed, however, on April 4, 2024, when, following an evening at a colleague’s house, I returned to my home to find I had been burgled and my car stolen from my drive.
“It appeared a significant level of force had been used to attack the property, a large safe had been thrown over an upstairs balcony… My car had been used as a battering ram to force through the gates of my house. None of the property stolen from my home was ever recovered. The attack on my home has left me with a sense of unease and I fear it could reoccur.”
