Newcastle midfielder, Bruno Guimarães, has said that he wasn’t aware that Isak wanted to leave the club.
He recently shared that the Swede staying beyond this summer would be ideal because Newcastle United should keep its best players.
According to him, Isak is a top striker who has given everything to the club since he arrived years ago, and he’ll leave his future to the club to take care of.
“Of course, he’s a top player and we know everything going on around him but he’s [staying at home] to do some physical treatment.
We want to keep our best players, that’s my point, and what I want to say is that I don’t know what anyone has seen but for us he’s not here because he’s injured.
He’s a top striker, his last three seasons speak for themselves. A top player. But as much as I know is he’s stayed at home because of his injury. It’s not for me to speak about him, it’s something the club will take care of,” he said.
Also speaking, Newcastle defender Dan Burn disclosed that Alexander Isak leaving the club would upset the players.
The England international revealed that he hopes Isak stays, even though he knows that it is not in his control.
According to him, losing anyone would be upsetting for the Newcastle team because they are a tight-knit group that has been together for years.
He stated that Isak is a big player for the club, and he hopes to still have him around next season.
“If we lost any player it would upset our tight-knit group that’s been together for two or three years now.
Any player that leaves, it doesn’t help but from our point of view we’re just going to control what we can control.
We’re looking forward to getting Alex back when he’s fit.
It’s a question for Alex to answer. He’s obviously a big player for us, but we do have a lot of quality in the squad as well. Bringing Anthony [Elanga] in as well, which I think was a great signing,” he added.
