Newcastle Remove Isak from the Squad as He Insists on Joining Liverpool
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that Alexander Isak will not be part of his squad for now as uncertainty over the striker’s future continues.
The Swedish forward has made it clear he wants to leave for Liverpool this summer, with the Reds still pushing to sign him before the transfer window closes. Isak has already informed Newcastle’s hierarchy of his decision and is unwilling to play or remain at the club.
Liverpool are reportedly preparing a fresh offer, but only if Newcastle are open to negotiations. Speaking to the press, Howe admitted they would like to have Isak back in the team but stressed that the circumstances must be right before that happens.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
