Thames: Newcastle pursues Ekitic in July, making Isaac think he is about to join Liverpool

August 24th News The Times published an analysis, what is the best way to leave the club? Keep working like Eze or strike like Isaac?

mentioned that Isaac and Newcastle face a "lose loss" and neither side has been able to handle their relationship well in a mutually beneficial way.

Isaac's "problem" originated in the 23/24 season, when he went from the Premier League's Hope Star to one of the league's top scorers. Amanda Staveli promised to get a new contract as long as Isaac continues to perform well. Please note that she is not only a director of Newcastle, but also a holder of the club's 6% stake. Handling relationships is her strength, but she left sadly at the end of the season because the Saudi public investment fund, which holds 85% of Newcastle, expressed dissatisfaction with her high-profile style. When the club faces pressure on profit and sustainable development rules, new sports director Mitchell had to inform Isaac that he had to postpone negotiations for renewal.

The outside world sees this as Isaac's explosion point, but Mitchell believes that the players and their team understand the club's dilemma. Isaac's amazing performance in 42 games in various competitions in the 24/25 season proves that he was not affected by the storm. As the season approaches, when Newcastle restarts the contract renewal negotiations, it is discovered that Isaac's attitude has changed.

In addition to Liverpool's interest, other clubs such as Arsenal are also exploring the possibility of transfers. People close to Isaac revealed that Newcastle's pursuit of Ekitic in mid-July made Isaac convinced that he was about to land in Anfield, and his subsequent anxiety was due to the gradual slim possibility of transfer.

Liverpool eventually defeated Newcastle to sign Ekitic, and followed up on August 1 to Isaac's 110 million bid, which was rejected by Newcastle. It is reported that Newcastle insists on a asking price of 150 million pounds, and the fans of both sides are excited, but based on the cold market conditions, this situation is normal. The price expectations of the buyer and the seller are very different. The seller has the right to price, and the buyer naturally has the right to disagree and leave.
