Star man Isak going nowhere, Newcastle chairman tells club

NEWCASTLE chairman Yasir Al Rumayyan has told the club to resist any offers for Alexander Isak this summer. The governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment fund, the club’s majority owners, was at Wembley on Sunday to see the Magpies beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final, before joining the team at Wembley’s

Boxpark for a party. And we understand he is adamant Isak, scorer of the second goal against the Reds, will not be going anywhere. Barcelona watched the 25-year-old Swede during last week’s 1-0 win at West Ham, with the Catalans said to want a big signing ahead of their first full season at a redeveloped Nou Camp. But Newcastle have not discussed an asking price for their star, because the message is clear — he is not for sale. Isak has three years on his contract and talks over an improved deal will be explored come the end of the season. Newcastle are planning a trophy parade to mark their Carabao Cup victory on Saturday, March 29, on Tyneside.
