The forced escort failed! Newcastle senior executives refused to be forced to sell people! Isaac is unable to join Liverpool this summer

A few days ago, Isaac issued a fierce statement, publicly expressing his dissatisfaction with Newcastle not letting him go. Newcastle responded immediately, insisting that they never promised he could leave and that they could not see any possibility of letting people go this summer.

The current situation is that Isaac wants to leave, Liverpool wants to buy, and Newcastle will never sell. How will the situation develop in the future? Let’s talk about the latest developments in this matter today.

First tell the students one thing that Newcastle's major shareholder, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), participated in the wording in response to Isaac's statement. PIFs rarely respond so quickly on major statements, which indirectly shows how much they value the matter.

Then what can Newcastle do now?

According to the latest report of The Athletic, Newcastle has a very tough attitude and will never sell Isaac if it does not meet the club's requirements. This is even more so after the public release of the statement.

Sources revealed that Newcastle senior executives were furious about this and made it clear that even if Isaac is the most valuable star, they will not be forced to sell people, otherwise they will send wrong signals to other stars.

In addition, PIF will not want to be embarrassed in this matter - even if I can't keep Isaac's heart, he has to keep his people first, even if he is in a bad mood and doesn't play the game.

However, Newcastle has not decided whether to impose a punishment on Isaac, and he did not participate in the match against Villa, which triggered the disciplinary clause.

According to the Premier League manual, clubs can be fined two weeks' salary for the first time (about £150,000 per week), and can be fined up to four weeks after another crime. However, any penalty exceeding this level will still be approved by the Player Union.

Liverpool, three weeks ago, they submitted a 110 million pound offer to buy Isaac, but was decisively rejected by Newcastle, and no new offer has been made since then.

Isaac's statement intensified Newcastle's dissatisfaction with Liverpool. Newcastle fans and management generally believe that Liverpool is secretly instigating Isaac to put pressure in an attempt to achieve the effect of strong digging at low prices.

Then what conditions can Isaac leave the team? In his statement, Newcastle mentioned that "the conditions for releasing people have not been met". What does the so-called "condition for releasing people" refer to?

The Athletic revealed that Newcastle will only agree to let Isaac go if it completes the signing of two new strikers, and at least one of them is of top level and receives a transfer fee of 150 million pounds. After Wilson's contract expired, Newcastle needed a striker, but the signing operation failed repeatedly.

Their first choice is Brighton's Pedro, but was intercepted by Chelsea. He tried to introduce Ekitic, but was snatched away by Liverpool. Then he chased Sesco who was all in his strength, but he eventually joined Manchester United.

The transfer window is about to close, Newcastle signs the top striker and Liverpool significantly raise their bids, and these two things cannot happen at the same time. In other words, Isaac cannot leave this summer.

In fact, Newcastle has always taken the initiative. Isaac can't just leave like that, he has a contract. If he says he refuses to appear, it is a breach of the contract. Isaac has not submitted a formal transfer application, but even if it is submitted, it will not have much legal effect. If you submit an application, he may also lose some of his loyalty bonus.

If Isaac stays in the team, is it possible for everyone to reconcile? The problem in the locker room is not too big. Some players are disappointed with Isaac's behavior, but many people also expressed their understanding. Coach Eddie Howe is also happy to welcome him back.

However, his relationship with the fans can no longer be reunited. Although Kane and Rooney were both accepted after forcing the palace that year, it is difficult for Isaac to completely dissipate the anger and pain that Isaac brought to Newcastle fans.

This does not mean that Isaac will never play for Newcastle again, after all, he is a world-class striker and the team is in urgent need of goals. If he does well after his return, some of his emotions may gradually fade. But to repair the relationship, Isaac needs to have a public apology at least once.

But no matter what, his image among Newcastle fans has been completely damaged and he will never return to his past.
