Despite the fact that there is a possibility of a transfer battle taking place this summer, Alexander Isak has stated that he is not considering his future at Newcastle.
This season, the striker for the Magpies has scored 22 goals across all competitions, making him one of the most impressive talents in the Premier League.
Isak has been discussed frequently in connection with potential transfers to Newcastle’s rivals, despite the fact that his contract at St. James’ Park is set to expire in 2028.
There have been reports that Liverpool is also interested in the Swedish international player, in addition to Arsenal’s long-standing admiration for him.
Isak is not overly concerned about his possible whereabouts after the summer, despite the fact that Newcastle placed a price tag of 150 million pounds on him in January.
In a statement made prior to the Carabao Cup final match against Liverpool, which will take place on Sunday and will be broadcast live on talkSPORT, he stated that he is not thinking about his future.
“I think I’ve said I’m not really thinking about the summer but yeah, that’ll probably be a talking point once the season is finished,” Isak stated in an interview with The Times.
Since there have been no discussions until now, we will have to wait and see. There isn’t much that I really think about when it comes to my future.
“During the course of a season, I have stated numerous times that we should just concentrate on the task at hand, and since this is probably the worst time to think about anything else, we are putting all of our attention on Sunday.
The fact that I don’t really look too much or think too much about my future is something that I have stated numerous times.
As a football player, you want to win championships, and I have stated that I am content with my current position. We are also in the running for championships. Since we have already competed in one final and are currently competing in another one, the chances are in our favour.
This club has the potential to accomplish a lot. I believe that we ought to take things one season at a time, and within this season, we have the potential to achieve the goal of winning a trophy, which would be an incredible accomplishment for everyone.
In 2022, Isak made the move from Real Sociedad to Newcastle, where he was reportedly acquired for a club record fee of £63 million.
It is expected that he will make his 100th appearance for the Magpies on Sunday, should he play at Wembley. He has scored 57 goals for the club over the course of three seasons.
Due to a groin injury, the Toon Army was concerned that they might not be able to have their talisman goalscorer available for the final match against Liverpool. However, those concerns were alleviated when he played 79 minutes of Monday’s victory over West Ham, which resulted in a 1-0 victory.
The 25-year-old player is currently in third place in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 19 goals, and he has the potential to help Newcastle secure a spot in the Champions League.
The team coached by Eddie Howe is currently in sixth place, just two points behind Chelsea, who are in fourth place, with ten league matches still to be played.
On the other hand, it appears that the Premier League will be awarded a fifth qualification spot for the Champions League coming up in the following season.
Spain is currently in second place on the UEFA coefficient rankings for the 2024/25 season, with a score of 21.678, while England is currently in first place with a score of 24.250.
As a result of the achievements of their respective clubs throughout the current season, two of Europe’s leagues will be awarded an additional spot in the Champions League.
As things currently stand, the recipients are going to be England and Spain, which means that the Premier League and LaLiga will each receive their share.
