Newcastle's Plan to Prevent Another Isak Situation
Newcastle is planning to include more release clauses in their players' contracts after the Alexander Isak transfer saga.
Alexander Isak's transfer to Liverpool dominated the headlines during the summer, with the Swedish player finally getting his big move.
Isak refused to train at Newcastle to force a move through to the Reds, and the 25-year-old tarnished his legacy at St James’ Park to become the most expensive Premier League player ever.
Isak has struggled at the start of his Liverpool career, scoring just once in his first six appearances, while Newcastle has coped well without him, thanks to their £69million capture of Nick Woltemade.
The Magpies' new plan aims to prevent similar situations in the future by including release clauses in contracts.
