It has previously been rumored that Newcastle could be forced to sell off players to meet the Premier League’s tough regulations on club finances. But now The Telegraph writes that the club from northeastern England wants to keep Isak and set a price tag of a whopping 180 million pounds, just over 2.3 billion Swedish kronor.
Admit it yourself
Now Alexander Isak also opens up about the future and what happens next season.
– I enjoy myself very, very well in Newcastle. I had my best season now in my career. That should not be underestimated. I really love everything about the club, the fans, the city, says Isak, who is currently at a national team camp with Sweden, to the Swedish media.
– I actually have no thoughts of a move or anything like that. I enjoy myself fantastically well and am very happy with my life.

He also doesn’t have much to spare for all the transfer rumors that surround him at the moment and will continue to do so during the summer.
– It’s not something I’m speculating on. There’s been mostly talk about them needing to sell players in the media, within the team and within the club there hasn’t been much talk or drama about it. I have not received the information from the club that they would have to sell me, says the 24-year-old at a press conference.
