Dan Burn expressed that Alexander Isak's potential move to Liverpool could upset Newcastle's cohesive team dynamics. Isak has missed preseason matches due to a thigh injury, though there's speculation about his openness to leaving. Liverpool may make a significant bid for Isak. While Burn hopes for Isak's return, he acknowledges the lack of control over the situation. Bruno Guimarães stated he was unaware of Isak's desire to leave and stressed the importance of retaining top players, attributing Isak's absence to injury rather than transfer speculation.
"If we lost any player it would upset our tight-knit group that's been together for two or three years now. Any player that leaves, it doesn't help but from our point of view we're just going to control what we can control."
"Of course, he's a top player and we know everything going on around him but he's [staying at home] to do some physical treatment. We want to keep our best players, that's my point, and what I want to say is that I don't know what anyone has seen but for us he's not here because he's injured."
