Wayne Rooney critically on striking Alexander Isak, Newcastle striker outside selection against Liverpool: “As a teammate I wouldn’t want him back”

“If I was a Newcastle player, I wouldn’t want Isak back,” said Rooney in the BBC Wayne Rooney Show. “I think that if players leave a club – and that happens very often – then that is possible in a certain way.”

Liverpool trainer Arne Slot avoids questions about Alexander Isak and gets laughers on his hand about new Italian acquisition: “It’s a handsome guy”

And not the way Isak wants, says Rooney. ,, You can’t start to stop, not appear on the training and then suddenly start training. Whether or not you want to stay with the club, you have to be there for your teammates and be ready if necessary. So I think if I were his teammate, I wouldn’t want him back. “

He continues: ,, He has abandoned you. He doesn’t want to be there and doesn’t want to be your teammate anymore. “

Newcastle United responds to rebellious striker Alexander Isak: ‘Never commitment he was allowed to leave’

Why does Isak want to leave Newcastle?

After a top season, Isak is in the spotlight of various European top clubs, but Newcastle refuses to cooperate in a transfer for the time being. A bid of 130 million euros from Liverpool was rejected. Newcastle would demand 170 million euros for the striker, who was fixed for another three years.

Isak not in selection Newcastle for the time being

Isak does not play with Newcastle United against Liverpool on Monday. The striker urges a departure to Liverpool and is no longer one of the selection of Eddie Howe. The Newcastle United coach calls the impasse a “loss-loss situation”.

For the time being, Isak is no longer one of the Newcastle players. If he is still under contract with Newcastle on 1 September, Howe would like to welcome him again.

In 2019, Isak was rented on a rental basis in the Eredivisie for Willem II. At the time, he scored thirteen goals in sixteen league matches and scored once in the KNVB cup.
