The transfer noise around Alexander Isak has been constant and intense for the better part two months now.
Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben and PIF board member Jacobo Solis recently visited Alexander Isak at his home in a last-ditch attempt to persuade the 25-year-old striker to abandon his ambitions of joining Liverpool and recommit to staying at St James’ Park.
The meeting was approved by Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, who was present at Monday night’s thrilling 3-2 defeat to Liverpool but did not participate in the home visit.
However, the delegation got the same answer: that the Swede only wants to join Liverpool and is not willing to back down.
Now Craig Hope of the Daily Mail has reported that Isak is unfazed with all the noise:
“As reported on my YouTube video last night, there was nothing following the secret meeting to suggest Alexander Isak has had a change of heart.”
“I’m told today he is not affected by the noise & remains intent on getting his move to Liverpool.
Howe was also quizzed on why the Newcastle chairman was in town, to which he admitted that he was not sure if it was related to the Isak situation:
“I don’t know why he’s here in the sense of if that’s the main reason,” said the Magpies boss.
“He’s here, obviously, to watch the team and support the team and show his presence, which is much-appreciated from my perspective and much-loved by everyone when he’s here and connecting with the players.”
“He’s the owner, he’s the most important person in terms of directing which decisions we make, but as I said, I’m not party to any conversations that have happened today, so I’ve got no idea what direction that’s in.”
