Real Madrid and LaLiga News: Alexander Isak Speaks Out on Newcastle Transfer Saga
The transfer saga surrounding Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has taken a dramatic turn, with the 24-year-old breaking his silence on social media.
Isak claimed that his club had broken promises and that “the relationship can’t continue” after Newcastle rejected a bid from Liverpool over the summer. The Swedish striker expressed frustration at being kept quiet while others spoke, saying “I’ve kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken.”
Isak also stated that promises were made to him before the season started but were not honored, leading to a breakdown in trust. He concluded that change is necessary for everyone’s benefit, rather than just his own.
This development comes as Real Madrid prepares for its first away game of the new campaign against Oviedo on Sunday. Los Blancos will face Valencia at El Sadar Stadium later in the same day, while league leaders Barcelona travel to Levante on Saturday evening.
Meanwhile, Newcastle will host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday with live coverage from Al Jazeera Sport. The match kicks off at 12:30pm (11:30 GMT) and promises to be a thrilling encounter.
In other LaLiga news, Real Madrid’s Xabi Alonso saw his team concede only two shots against Osasuna in his debut as manager, the lowest tally by a Real Madrid boss in their first game since 2003/04. The dominant display was capped off with Kylian Mbappe scoring the winning goal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen both made their domestic debuts for Real Madrid in Thursday’s match against Osasuna, with Alexander-Arnold receiving a standing ovation after being substituted.
