This is absolutely appalling on official Liverpool FC site about Alexander Isak

Just when you think you’ve seen it all online, something truly astonishing appears—this time, on the official Liverpool FC website, no less. The piece in question revolves around Newcastle United’s star striker, Alexander Isak, and it has left me absolutely staggered.

What on earth are Liverpool FC playing at? Have they no shame whatsoever? The headline that popped up on my Newcastle United feed read: ‘Liverpool make ‘contact’ over Alexander Isak transfer as fresh claims made.’ At first glance, I was gutted, thinking Liverpool had officially reached out to Newcastle about signing Isak. But as I delved deeper, my initial shock turned to anger.

This wasn’t just another piece of clickbait from a dubious media outlet. No, this was published on the OFFICIAL Liverpool FC website—their own club media platform.

The audacity of it left me speechless. The article began with the following lines: ‘Liverpool are continuing to be linked with a move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak ahead of the summer transfer window. The Reds do not have long to wait before the market opens and they are able to strengthen their squad with new signings.Isak has been tentatively linked with a move to Anfield in recent months, particularly since the January transfer window.’ At the very end, in small print, they added: (This story has been reproduced from the media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.)

This disclaimer, however, does little to absolve Liverpool of responsibility. The headline alone—‘Liverpool make ‘contact’ over Alexander Isak transfer’—is a factual statement, one that Liverpool FC, as a club, know to be either true or false.

If they haven’t made contact with Newcastle United, why publish such a headline? The only logical conclusion is that this is a deliberate attempt to unsettle Alexander Isak, a player who has been nothing short of sensational for Newcastle this season. By pushing this narrative, Liverpool are engaging in a shameful tactic, one that reeks of desperation and poor sportsmanship.

The timing of this article only adds to the absurdity. It comes just two days after Newcastle United thoroughly outplayed Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, securing a well-deserved 2-1 victory.

Isak himself scored the winning goal, cementing his status as one of the Premier League’s most lethal strikers. For Liverpool to publish such a story so soon after being bested on the pitch feels like a bitter, below-the-belt attempt at retaliation. It’s as if they’re trying to undermine Newcastle’s triumph by targeting their star player.

What’s even more baffling is Liverpool’s attempt to distance themselves from the story. By stating that the article doesn’t necessarily represent the club’s position, they’re trying to have it both ways. They want to spread the rumor without taking accountability for it.

But let’s be clear: by choosing to publish this on their official website, Liverpool FC are endorsing the narrative, regardless of the fine print. It’s a grubby move, one that reflects poorly on the club’s integrity.

This raises a broader question: is any media rumor fair game for Liverpool FC to republish on their official platform? Are there no limits to what they’re willing to propagate? If so, it sets a dangerous precedent.

Clubs should be held to a higher standard, especially when it comes to their official communications. Publishing unverified transfer rumors, particularly about players from rival clubs, is unprofessional and undermines the spirit of fair competition.

For Newcastle United and their fans, this is yet another reminder of the challenges that come with success. Isak has been a revelation since joining the club, and his performances have naturally attracted interest from top teams.

However, Liverpool’s actions here are not just about expressing interest—they’re about creating disruption. It’s a tactic that shows a lack of respect for Newcastle, their players, and their achievements.

In the end, this episode says more about Liverpool FC than it does about Alexander Isak or Newcastle United. It’s a desperate move from a club still reeling from their Carabao Cup defeat.

Rather than focusing on improving their own squad or reflecting on their performance, they’ve chosen to engage in underhanded tactics. For a club of Liverpool’s stature, it’s a disappointing and shameful approach.

Newcastle, meanwhile, can take pride in their victory and the quality of their players. Isak’s future remains bright, and no amount of media manipulation can overshadow what he and his team have achieved.
