Newcastle United have sensationally rejected the chance to bring Alexander Isak back to St James’ Park, even after the Swedish striker agreed personal terms for a return. Reports suggest Isak was eager to reunite with the Magpies following a frustrating spell away from the Premier League, but the club’s board decided not to proceed with the move at the final stage of negotiations.
Sources close to the situation revealed that while Isak’s camp had reached an understanding with Newcastle over salary and contract length, the club opted to prioritize other transfer targets. Financial considerations and new recruitment strategies reportedly played a major role in the decision.
Eddie Howe was believed to be open to the idea of working with Isak again, but senior management felt the timing and budget constraints made the deal impractical. The 26-year-old forward, who remains a fan favorite, is said to be disappointed by the club’s U-turn after weeks of positive talks.
Despite the collapse of the deal, insiders claim Newcastle could revisit the move in the summer window if circumstances change. Meanwhile, Isak’s representatives are now assessing other Premier League options as uncertainty continues to surround his next destination.
