Alexander Isak revealed his intention to leave Newcastle United due to feelings of betrayal and loss of trust in the club. He stated that promises were broken and that he had maintained silence while others misrepresented the situation. Isak emphasized that the club was aware of his position for a long time and found it misleading that the issues were only now surfacing. He argued that when trust is lost, continuing the relationship is unfeasible and noted that change is necessary for all parties involved. He also skipped the PFA awards amid ongoing transfer speculation.
I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors.
The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.
When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now -- and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.
Isak skipped the Professional Footballers' Association awards night amid ongoing speculation about his future at Newcastle despite being named in the team of the year.
