British media: The deadlock between Isaac and Newcastle has escalated to a crisis stage, and the team will not take him in activities

The Telegraph reported that the deadlock between Isaac and Newcastle has escalated to the crisis stage, and coach Eddie Howe asked him to train alone and did not allow him to participate in the team's family friendship day activities.

On the first day of returning to the base after the Asian preseason, Eddie Howe organized a barbecue party between players and their families. However, Isaac, who has clearly informed the club that he hopes to leave the team, was asked to join the team before he could treat a minor thigh injury after the event. This is only a few days after Eddie Howe publicly emphasized that "the performance must be used to win the round-trial qualification". After Liverpool's £110 million offer was rejected, and Isaac missed all preseasons.

Newcastle coaches will hold family franchise events at the training base throughout the season to enhance cohesion, but Isaac is clearly paying for his actions during the preseason. When ending his trip to Singapore and South Korea, Eddie Howe once made a tough statement: "Don't practice any improper behavior as usual, you have to strive for your qualifications."

As early as before the first pre-season game against the Celtics, Eddie Howe sent Isaac home due to transfer rumors. The Swedish international was then revealed to have sought to leave this summer, although his existing contract was three years left. The club did not take him to Asia on the grounds of a minor thigh injury, but the player flew to Spain and trained alone at his old club Real Sociedad. Eddie Howe revealed that he learned about the itinerary through the media, not the player himself.

Newcastle priced Isaac for £150 million and refused to give in. Meanwhile, Liverpool is close to selling Nunez to Riyadh Crescent for £46 million basic transfer fee + additional terms.
