- Isak posts goodbye to Newcastle fans
- Striker joined ลิเวอร์พูล in £125m record deal
- Made switch on deadline day
After weeks of speculation and a protracted transfer saga, Alexander Isak has finally addressed his departure from Newcastle. The สวีเดน international took to Instagram to thank supporters and staff at St James’ Park after completing a British-record £125m switch to Anfield.
Taking to Instagram, Isak said: “I want to express my gratitude to my teammates, the staff, and above all, the city of Newcastle and all the amazing supporters for the three unforgettable years we shared together. Together, we have written history and brought the club to the place where it truly belongs. It has been an honour to be part of the journey from reaching the แชมเปี้ยนส์ลีก to winning the first trophy in over 70 years. Forever grateful. Thank you, Newcastle.”
Isak had been Newcastle’s talisman since his arrival from เรอัล โซเซียดาด in 2022, scoring 63 goals in all competitions over three seasons. His move to Liverpool is seen as a statement of intent as the Reds look to win back-to-back พรีเมียร์ลีก titles under Arne Slot. For Newcastle, losing their star striker is a major blow, however, the drawn-out saga that lasted the entire summer now being over will come as a relief to the players, staff and fans on Tyneside.
Isak could make his debut for Liverpool against เบิร์นลีย์ after the international break, but for now, he will join up with the Swedish ระดับชาติ team for two ฟุตบอลโลก qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo. Newcastle have softened the blow of losing their star man by recruiting Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.
