🚨 Isak slams Newcastle on Instagram: Broken promises | OneFootball

The PFA Awards evening was meant to be a celebration. Alexander Isak was named in the 2024-25 Premier League Team of the Year by his peers.

However, the Swedish striker was not present at the ceremony, choosing instead to speak via a statement published on his Instagram account.

In this message, Isak first wanted to thank his teammates and everyone at Newcastle United for their support. But the tone quickly changed. He explained that his absence was due to his standoff with the Magpies.

Here is the full translation of the statement:

"I am proud to have been recognized by my peers with a place in the 2024/25 Premier League PFA Team of the Season.

Above all, I want to thank my teammates and everyone at Newcastle United who has supported me along the way.

I am not present at the ceremony tonight. With everything that is happening, it just didn’t feel right for me to be there.

I have remained silent for a long time, while others have spoken out. This silence has allowed some to spread their own version of events, even though they know it does not reflect what was actually said and agreed upon behind closed doors.

The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To claim now that these issues are only just emerging is misleading.

When promises are broken and trust is lost, collaboration cannot continue. That is where I stand today — and why a change is in the best interest of everyone, not just me."

This statement sounds like a point of no return between Alexander Isak and Newcastle. While his future still seemed uncertain, the message is now clear: he is demanding to leave.
