Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes and vice-captain then say that the players can only ‘check what we can check’ after breaking the silence of the club about the situation of Alexander Isak, and admits that the striker goes through a ‘rough moment’.
Mail Sport exclusively revealed on Thursday that Isak has told the hierarchy that he wants to leave this summer, with Liverpool who prepares a British record offer.
Newcastle landed here on Friday morning in Singapore without their star player, who is said to take care of a dijing injury at home on Tyneside.
However, there is a strong chance that the Swede has kicked his last ball in black and white, and we understand that different teammates expect that Isak is going, if Liverpool pays the £ 150 million that Newcastle will demand.
In the meantime, Mail Sport spoke with Guimaraes and burned in the Pan Pacific Hotel of the team, and Burn was asked if he could understand the wish of Isak to promote his career elsewhere.
“Listen, everyone has the right to their own opinion,” said the defender of England. ‘But I think we can simply determine what we can check. That is a question for Alex to answer. He is clearly a big player for us, but we also have a lot of quality in the team. Also bringing in Anthony (Elanga), which I think was a great signature. ‘
The stars of Newcastle broke their silence after Alexander Isak had told the club that he wants to leave
Then Burns state that he and his teammates should concentrate on what they can control instead of Isak
Bruno Guimaraes says that Isak has ‘experienced some rough things’ and the club ‘has control’
Isak did not travel to Singapore with the team in the midst of his injury and the interest of Liverpool
Burn added: “Alex did not train with a thighing problem that is still going on since he went back for the first few days.”
Guimaraes said: ‘I’m really close to him (Isak). He is a good guy. He has experienced a number of rough things at the moment. My focus is with the boys. Isak is something that I can’t control. The club has control over it. I hope he will be fit when we come back to Newcastle to prepare for the new season.
“They told us he was there in Newcastle because of his injury. Of course he is a top player for us and he will be a miss on this trip. We need it as quickly as possible. ‘
In the meantime, both players spoke about their desire to see Newcastle add to the only signing of Elanga.
“We are still on the market and are looking for new options,” said Guimaraes. ‘But we have been successful before and we can be successful again. I am more focused on the players we have here. My job for the club is to try to keep the boys motivated.
“We must be calm. We must be patient. We know that the directors are working on the markets. We have elanga, who surprised me a lot in training, incredible. ‘
The Brazilian added: ‘Because I signed for the club, I have always had this ambition (to compete and see good players coming). If I lose it, I go back to Brazil and I play there! I think the club has the same ambition as me. ‘
Burn said: ‘You always want to strengthen and bring in players. It is nice to keep the team fresh. But as I said, for us as a team, as a staff and players, it is about controlling what we can check. ‘
