Isak speaks amid Osimhen's Newcastle links
Speaking to the media, as reported by Metro Sports, the marquee striker shared his thoughts:
“Throughout my career, I have never talked about or really commented on transfer rumours during the season,” Isak stated.
“There have been many seasons where rumours have circulated, but it doesn’t affect me.”
Commenting on his situation at Newcastle, he added,
“I’ve never had any issues there. I am fully focused on my role and on helping us have a fantastic season. There’s still a lot of potential for that, and I have no thoughts about anything else.”
When asked directly if there was an ongoing dialogue with Newcastle about a new contract, Isak simply replied,
“No comment.”
The possibility of Isak leaving Newcastle United appears to be growing, especially as talk of Victor Osimhen’s potential move to the Premier League intensifies.
How this situation unfolds with Isak, Newcastle, and the Osimhen speculation is still uncertain, but it’s certainly a transfer saga worth following.
