Liverpool target Alexander Isak says he "can't continue" at Newcastle and has accused the club of "broken promises".
The Magpies striker broke his silence on Tuesday night, releasing a statement on Instagram in which he said he has "lost trust" in the club.
He said: "I'm proud to be recognised by my fellow professionals with a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Season for 2024/25.
"First and foremost I want to thank my teammates and everyone at Newcastle United who has supported me along the way.
"I'm not at the ceremony tonight. With everything going on, it didn't feel right to be there.
"I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors.
"The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading.
"When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now - and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself."

Nobody complains when a club firstly tells a player you are no longer part of our plans just like Chelsea have done to many players but when it's a who wants to leave a club people will complain and talk kind of rubbish about the player.

We know rich club owners can be self centered and wicked towards their players. A broken promise cannot be repaired. We stand by you isak
