The summer isn’t all just about who Newcastle United can get to join their ranks ahead of the new season with a few issues within the club to be resolved too.
Speculation has been rife over the future of £63million record signing Alexander Isak with a move to Arsenal being mooted several times over recent weeks.
Newcastle United have made their stance on this, as well as the future of Bruno Guimaraes very clear – they are not for sale – but that’s not stopped the speculation train from rolling.
So intent are the Magpies to keep Isak at St James’ Park that talks are reportedly underway over a new contract despite his current deal running until 2028.
Isak’s contract includes a lower pay clause in the event that Newcastle is eliminated from the Champions League.
Isak’s current contract is said to have a condition requiring him to accept a 20% wage decrease in seasons when Newcastle isn’t participating in the Champions League—which, naturally, means that Newcastle won’t be in the competition this coming season.
There is concern that Isak’s head might be turned this summer as a result of the 20% decrease. Isak most likely never anticipated earning more money for the Champions League this quickly, but once something is yours, it’s difficult to lose.
However, HITC is now claiming that negotiations are moving forward for a new agreement, therefore we anticipate that clause will be removed as a demonstration to him of how
The team is exerting all necessary effort to retain Alexander Isak at Newcastle.
Although Newcastle hopes to get the new contract finalized and signed before the start of the season, prospective suitors should be aware that they have little chance of success simply by virtue of the fact that negotiations are still going on.
In the previous season, Alexander Isak eclipsed Zalatan Ibrahimovic’s record for the most goals scored by a Swedish player in the Premier League, which is amazing considering how many games he missed due to injury.
Isak might contribute an unbelievable quantity of goals if we can get him to play the entire season. There are no other players in the Premier League like him, therefore we must keep him at all costs.
