In a groundbreaking deal, Alexander Isak's transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool for 125 million pounds has made headlines, ending in a stormy farewell from St James' Park. Despite previous achievements, the move left Newcastle fans disheartened, criticizing the Swedish striker over a perceived betrayal.

Expressing appreciation to teammates, staff, and supporters, Isak took to Instagram to leave a heartfelt message, highlighting their shared victories, including a historic League Cup win.
