Alexander Isak has resumed training with Newcastle United after missing the club’s preseason tour of Asia. Officially sidelined due to a thigh injury, the Swedish striker’s absence coincided with mounting speculation over a potential move to Liverpool.
However, Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing the 25-year-old forward and are said to have tabled a staggering €138 million bid. Despite the player’s apparent desire to make the switch to Anfield, Newcastle remains firm in their stance: Isak is not for sale.
Speaking to the Uncovered Ug media team in an interview, Howe delivered a pointed message aimed at reinforcing discipline and team ethics within his squad, perhaps with Isak in mind: “You have to earn the right to train with us. We are Newcastle United. Every player here has a responsibility to be part of the team and the group.”

“You have to behave correctly. We will make sure that everyone does so to earn their place. No one should expect to act out and still train as usual.”
Furthermore, it’s said Liverpool will return with an improved offer, but whether Isak can reintegrate at St. James’ Park remains to be seen.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the player is set to meet with club officials this week to clarify his future.
