Newcastle's management has confirmed that Isak's absence is due to this injury. However, the situation has sparked speculation about Isak's future at the club. There have been suggestions that Liverpool is interested in signing him, and it's been reported that the English club could be willing to pay a significant transfer fee, reportedly around £120m.

Isak still has three years remaining on his contract at St James' Park. His camp has been pushing for a significant pay rise to reflect his growing status in the game. Currently, Isak earns £130,000 per week, but his representatives are reportedly seeking a salary of £300,000 per week to re-sign with the club.
