His decision was met with controversy, with concerns over whether he would honour his contract and tensions between him and the club escalating. Isak cited broken promises and a breakdown in trust between him and the club, leading to fan frustration.

However, in a recent Instagram post, Isak expressed his gratitude to his teammates, staff, and the city of Newcastle. He reflected on the three years he spent at the club, describing it as an honour to be part of the journey.

"I want to thank my teammates, the staff, and the amazing supporters of Newcastle for the unforgettable years we shared together," he wrote. "Together, we achieved history and brought the club to a new level of success. It was an honour to be part of the team that reached the Champions League and won the first trophy in over 70 years."

Isak concluded his message by expressing his gratitude to the club and its supporters.

Newcastle United has since moved on from the saga, signing forwards Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa. Manager Eddie Howe will look to put the situation behind him as the season continues.
