Football was rocked tonight after Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak—long linked with a move to Liverpool—delivered a fiery outburst that stunned supporters and pundits alike.
In an extraordinary tirade, the Swede launched a blistering attack on Liverpool, Virgil van Dijk, and VAR following Anthony Gordon’s contentious red card.
Speaking live to Fabrizio Romano, Isak said:
“Everyone knows I want to join Liverpool and that I admire the club, but after this disgrace and wrongful red card against my teammates, I can’t move to a team that tries to win through cheating.
Van Dijk in particular is a big cheat. As for VAR, you rigged this match. Let the truth stand, because that was never a red card.”
The explosive remarks have sent shockwaves through football. What once seemed like a transfer edging closer has now unraveled spectacularly, leaving Liverpool fans enraged and labeling Isak “disrespectful” and “not fit for Anfield.”
Newcastle supporters are split—some hail him for backing his teammates and calling out alleged “corruption,” while others worry he’s sabotaged his chances of a big future move.
Van Dijk has yet to comment, but sources inside Liverpool say the club is astonished by the personal attack, with officials reportedly ending their interest in signing the striker, branding his behavior “unprofessional and unacceptable.”
This saga is already being etched into football history—not just as a collapsed transfer, but as one of the most brazen and controversial rants ever made by a top forward.
Who does Isak think he is? After this, he shouldn’t even dream of coming to Liverpool—the disrespect is beyond belief.
