According to the Daily Telegraph exclusive report, the Saudi boss of Newcastle has clearly informed Isaac that he will not be sold this summer and will never be able to transfer to Liverpool.
Newcastle's firm stance triggered a fierce conflict. Isaac refused to accept the decision calmly, and was later ordered by coach Eddie Howe to train alone. The club made it clear: As long as Isaac does not recognize the fact that he cannot leave the team this summer, he will not get a chance to play.
Despite the intensification of conflict, Newcastle has not imposed disciplinary punishment on Isaac. The club plans to let Isaac return to the team after realizing that he could not force his departure.
Isaac has three years left in its existing contract. Newcastle has informed him that he will initiate renewal negotiations after the transfer window is closed in September. The new contract will almost certainly include a termination clause. The club believes that it is meaningless to talk about salary increases in a hurry during the emotional opposition period. The
club's position of refusing to sell Isaac was supported by all members of the board.
