Newcastle Shock Fans with Blunt Announcement of Alexander Isak's Exit

Newcastle United's statement announcing the departure of Alexander Isak was short and to the point, as there were no thanks for the footballer who outraged both officials and supporters with his behaviour this summer.

After three years at Newcastle, during which he became one of the most highly-rated strikers in world football with 62 goals in 109 appearances, Alexander Isak has officially parted ways with the Magpies, signing a six-year contract with Liverpool.

There was nothing amicable about this departure. Alexander Isak forced his way out, initially refusing to report for the summer training camp, then training on his own in England, and finally accusing the club in a public statement that "promises made were broken, they have known my position for a long time," referring to his desire for a change of scenery.

Finally, on Monday, the last day of the transfer window, Newcastle accepted the €150 million offered by Liverpool, a record fee in British football.

The way Newcastle announced Isak's exit speaks volumes about the nature of the split. The entire statement contains just two sentences and 37 words.

As the BBC noted: no thanks, no well wishes, not even a mention of the goal Isak scored in last season's League Cup final, the match that secured Newcastle's first trophy in 70 years!

Reacting to the social media post, one fan said: "Throwing in the “read time 1 minute” whoever sanctioned this release needs a free night out in the big market on the club😂👏👏."

Another fan added: "You don’t wish him well in his future endeavours?"

"No hard feelings. Isak gave your club some memories! @NUFC got a record fee. Players come, players go, Newcastle remain Wish him well & move. Ire o!" commented another fan.

"This is the next step for me in my career. I'm super happy that I've been given this chance and I'm very motivated to do something well with it," Alexander Isak said after becoming Liverpool's new number 9.

"I want to create history. I want to win trophies. That's ultimately the biggest motivation for me. This is the perfect place for me to grow even further and to take my game to the next level and help the team as well."

His arrival signifies a major statement of intent from Liverpool, who have embarked on a remarkable $570 million spending spree under new manager Arne Slot.

Alexander Isak is expected to lead the line for the newly crowned English champions, adding to an already formidable attack. For Newcastle, the departure of their star forward is a significant blow, despite the British record fee received.
