Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has reportedly informed the club of his desire to leave Anfield and rejoin his former side, Newcastle United, next summer. The Swedish international, who joined Liverpool in a blockbuster £85 million move last year, is said to be unhappy with his current role under manager Arne Slot.
Sources close to the player suggest Isak feels he has not been given enough trust or playing time in his preferred position, often being rotated in and out of the starting lineup. Despite scoring key goals early in the season, tensions have reportedly grown behind the scenes regarding tactics and his long-term future.
Isak enjoyed a highly successful spell at Newcastle, where he became a fan favourite and one of the Premier League’s most exciting forwards. His bond with the club’s supporters and management remains strong, fueling talk of a potential reunion.
Newcastle are monitoring the situation closely and could make an official approach in the January transfer window. Liverpool, however, are expected to fight to keep him, with club officials insisting the 25-year-old remains central to their long-term plans.
A summer transfer battle now appears increasingly likely.
