There are reports that Isak's decision to skip the tour might be a strategic move to facilitate a transfer to Liverpool. Newcastle, however, is demanding a record transfer fee from Liverpool, currently valued at £150 million.
Isak is reportedly unhappy with Newcastle's valuation of him and is considering drastic measures. He might explore the option of unilaterally terminating his contract, a move that has become more feasible following a significant court ruling in 2023.
The European Court of Justice ruled in favor of former footballers Lassana Diarra, who contested several long-established transfer regulations. The ruling found that certain restrictions imposed on players were incompatible with European Union law, particularly regarding labor mobility and anti-competitive practices.
