Alexander Isak’s transfer saga involving his potential move away from Newcastle United could be descending into legal chaos.
The 25-year-old has made his desire to move to Anfield abundantly clear, after Liverpool submitted an opening offer totalling £120million for his services.
Now, Isak has stated that he will never play for Newcastle again, as he continues his attempts to force a transfer.
However, the striker could be in breach of his Magpies contract if he doubles down on his claim and refuses to feature for Eddie Howe’s side.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes that the situation will go legal if Isak goes on strike.
‘Isak has played his cards too strongly, he has no power’
This article contains exclusive comment from Keith Wyness, former Everton, Aston Villa, and Aberdeen CEO.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness insisted that the Sweden international has played his cards too strongly, as he currently has no power over the Tyneside club.
Its a shame that such a talented young man should waste his time on legal disputes.
