I am determined to leave! Isaac hasn t talked to Eddie Howe for a week, nor has he communicated with most teammates
The latest report by Craig Hope, a Newcastle team reporter at the Post, revealed the situation of Isaac's showdown with Newcastle senior executives.
When everyone's attention is focused on Newcastle's Premier League match against Liverpool at home, a major meeting unfolds in a mansion in the suburbs of Newcastle. Due to the current vacancies for Newcastle CEO and Sports Director, the club's co-owner Jamie Ruben personally took part in the fight and held a meeting with board representative Solis and others and the Isaac team. According to sources, this is the last effort Newcastle made, and they tried to convince Isaac to stay but failed. Isaac made it clear that the player does not want to stay, and he will not play for Newcastle again whether before or after the transfer deadline.
According to a source in the Post, all parties have basically reached a consensus that selling players is the best option, but only if Newcastle must sign at least one new striker (or two). Now, with Waltermad coming and Isaac insisting on strike and putting pressure on pressure, Liverpool is likely to offer Isaac again after Newcastle completes its first striker signing. After all, they have done a lot of work for the player and encouraged the Isaac camp to take various actions for the transfer, so they won't give up on him easily. Sources still believe that a offer of over £130 million may be the key to reaching an agreement.
How would Newcastle respond if the second offer was financially acceptable? Previously, they tried to treat Isaac with a gentle policy, encourage him to return to the team and return to the team that was still willing to accept him, rather than closing the door to him. There is also news that he may get a new and improved contract. But Isaac firmly stated that he would not consider any conditions Newcastle offers and he was determined to leave. As of Monday, Isaac has not spoken to Newcastle coach Eddie Howe for more than a week and has not communicated with most teammates.
