The managing director of Newcastle United, Darren Eales, emphasized a summer transfer For Alexander Isak, but a report suggests that the striker’s potential salary requirements could force the striker by exit.
Isak was in a blazing form this season. The fleet foot swede scores 22 goals in all competitions and is generally considered one of the best strikers in the world.
This productive return was not surprisingly interested in the interest of a flood of the European Elite. A chronically striking arsenal has long been a admirer, while Barcelona Isak sees Robert Lewandowski as the ideal successor. Liverpool has also invited himself to the conversation.
With regard to the hierarchy of Newcastle, every discussion about a summer exit for your Talisman is a non -starter. “We are not under the weapon to sell one of our most important players – it would be crazy to take them into account,” Eales swung this week. “They are all under long -term contracts.
“We know that he is a world -class player and others desire. But it is annoying because it is almost as if we are seen in the next category as a club and it’s fair game to talk about our players.”
The current Isak deal extends to the summer of 2028, but the 25-year-old is said to have a salary of £ 140,000 per week The times Note that it is less than half that Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland commanded in Manchester in Manchester City. The report indicates that Newcastle “cannot compete with a comparable wage with these league-leading numbers.
The talks about a new deal for Isak are expected to be held in summer. Newcastle is limited by the strict financial regulations of the Premier League – profit and sustainability rules (PSR) – how much they can offer isac.
“PSR should really be about sustainability, but it is a system that favors those with larger income,” groaned Eales when the latest newcastle accounts were released. “We could bring money into an additional account that could show that we would not go bankrupt, but the way the rules are now, we have to gradually grow.
“The fact is in our second Carabao Cup final in three years and two points from a Champions League Place show that we are growing [in October 2021] could have been faster if things were different. PSR in its current form is a challenge. “
It can also be difficult to capture ISAK if you cannot meet your wage requirements.
