A wonderful statement from Newcastle - they practically said in plain text that everything Isak said was bullshit, called on him to honour his contract and reiterated that he would not be sold until the club received the desired amount. It's high time to stop this bullshit when players make up some promises and don't pay attention to the contract. I'm looking forward to the transfer window closing to see how this idiot will tuck his tail between his legs and apologize or sit in the reserve squad.
The players and their agents are the bane of football, and it will only get worse. I believe that these players are totally at the mercy of these agents who speculate on these guys who then don't respect their contracts and do as they please. I don't like this, it's ruining football.
I don't think the situation will get worse, as it is already as bad as it can be and now the clubs have to protect themselves. Considering that everything has gone too far, I expect, on the contrary, that this golden era of freebies for players will end and soon there will be a budget limit and a salary cap. From a business point of view, it will be better for everyone, as now the players are literally bankrupting the clubs, this does not look like normal development. As for Isak, it's time for him to start apologizing, Newcastle are serious.
