Eddie Howe is eager for Alexander Isak to remain at Newcastle amid speculation of a transfer. Isak missed the pre-season trip due to a minor thigh injury, while reports suggest interest from Liverpool and a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal. Howe confirmed that discussions between Isak and the club will remain private and mentioned Isak’s positive relationship with the team. Although Newcastle fans want Isak's contract renewed, Howe stated that a new deal is not on the agenda as the summer transfer window approaches its end, leaving many possibilities open. Howe noted Isak's ongoing injury concerns.
There's things going on behind the scenes. He will be aware he's in the news every day and I'm sure that's not easy for anyone.
We do share a really good relationship with him. He's been magnificent for us since he's joined. He's very popular in the dressing room and we'd love him to continue his journey at Newcastle.
That'll be for a later date ... with the situation as it is ... there's still so much that could happen.
With his injury, I've got no major update on that. He first mentioned his thigh just before.
