Further south, work is also being done, where a La Liga giant has received encouraging signals from the Swede’s camp.
Of course, Newcastle supporters don’t want to lose their most valuable attacking player, but if the club doesn’t get a Champions League ticket for next season, it could be hard to keep Isak. Reports from Spain say Isak himself has made a choice about the next club.
