Alexander Isak has reportedly has claimed that Newcastle United pained an inaccurate picture of him as he was bitterly sold to Liverpool during the summer transfer window.
Following a difficult ordeal that wrecked his reputation with Newcastle, Isak finally secured a £125 million transfer to Anfield.
As he battled for the transfer to Liverpool throughout the summer, the Sweden international went from being a hero at St. James’ Park to a villain. He made a damning statement accusing the club of breaching commitments and declined to train and play for Eddie Howe’s team.
Before leaving to join the Sweden team during the international break, Isak finalized his transfer on the day of the deadline.

He came off the bench in their 2-0 loss to Kosovo on Monday, but he did not play in their 2-2 match against Slovenia on Friday night.
According to The Mirror, while speaking to reporters afterwards, Isak was asked to reflect upon his tumultuous summer. “It’s great that things were cleared up before the squad and that I could focus on playing football again.
“Been a fairly new situation for me, but you always learn and develop mentally off the pitch too,” he said.
“It’s a bit like it is. It’s clear that not everyone has the whole picture, but that’s something for another day. Right now, the disappointment is about this match and how it went.
“But at the same time, I have a positive feeling about the club team part that is coming.
“That’s part of football. I can’t control everything that is said or written. But I’m glad I became a Liverpool player. That’s what I wanted and I’m happy about that.”
