Isak future at Newcastle kept open by Howe
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe says Alexander Isak’s future is still undecided after a recent bid from Liverpool was rejected. Isak has trained away from the group following Howe’s note that he cannot be involved with the squad at the moment. The club has publicly stressed that Isak is contracted to Newcastle and the owners have not signaled he will be sold. Howe added that discussions continue, but he does not know what final decisions the club will make.

Howe explains his priorities for recruitment and motivation
Fans and experts watch how ownership influence shapes transfers. A high bid from a rival club underscores that the market for top players is hot and tests both budgets and strategy. If Isak stays, Newcastle may focus on balancing a push for results with squad depth; if he leaves, a broader reshuffle could follow. The challenge for Howe is maintaining clarity for the squad while keeping options open. Ambiguity risks eroding trust among players who want a clear path and could complicate recruitment plans for the next season.
