Alexander Isak’s agent blasts Newcastle & fans as Liverpool’s £125m star returns with Sweden
Alexander Isak Completes Transfer to Liverpool Amid Controversy
Alexander Isak’s departure from Newcastle has sparked further drama after his agent made a pointed comment about the club following the player’s £125million move to Liverpool on transfer deadline day. Vlado Lemic, acting on behalf of Isak, issued a 22-word statement implying a permanent separation from Newcastle, saying, “It’s nicer to know who you’ll never be with again.”
During international duty with Sweden, Isak was photographed smiling and looking relaxed, signaling relief after his high-profile transfer. He had gone on strike at Newcastle to facilitate his move, which was finalized after a prolonged 39-day stand-off that drew intense media attention and fan anger. Despite the controversy, national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson praised Isak’s professionalism, describing him as a “great lad” with a solid mentality.
Newcastle responded publicly with a brief statement announcing the sale for a significant British record fee, highlighting Isak’s contributions since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022. The terse communication reflected simmering frustrations, which were further inflamed by Lemic’s dismissive remark and reactions from fans, including one who mocked Isak as a rat.
