Howe comments on rumors of Isak’s new contract

Recently, Newcastle fans have been concerned by reports suggesting that star player Alexander Isak is reluctant to sign a new contract, even though his current agreement runs for a considerable period. However, head coach Eddie Howe remains optimistic.

Details: The Newcastle manager stated that Isak’s contract poses no immediate issues for the club, but he emphasized that he hopes the forward will remain with the team long-term.

Quote: “Alex has a long contract... and we need to be very mindful of our spending. I don’t see any short-term issues with his contract. We love having him here and want him to stay,” Howe said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

Reminder: It was previously reported that Newcastle fears the Swedish player might hesitate to extend his contract, which runs until 2028, amid interest from Chelsea.
