“I’ve already told my agent about this, and there’s no way I’ll stay in the same team with him come January. Either they sell him, or I leave the club because of him” — Alexander Isak explodes, pointing to ONE Liverpool player as the reason for his goal drought after the Chelsea defeat.
The drama at Anfield has reached boiling point — this time not about referees, VAR, or injuries, but a rift inside Liverpool’s dressing room. After the 2-1 loss to Chelsea on October 4, 2025, Isak broke his silence with a bombshell statement that’s shaking Arne Slot’s squad.
Despite being signed for a record fee last summer, Isak’s struggles in front of goal have continued. Against Chelsea, he looked isolated and frustrated, even after assisting Cody Gakpo’s equaliser. Now, he has revealed the problem lies within the squad itself.
While Isak didn’t name the player, speculation points heavily toward Mohamed Salah, whose dominance may be restricting his freedom, though some believe the issue could be a misfiring midfielder failing to link up with him.
Fans are split online — some furious at Isak’s disrespect if Salah is the target, others arguing the club must protect their record striker.
For Slot, the dilemma is brutal: back the £100m striker or side with his established superstar. January could force Liverpool into a defining decision.
Isak has drawn a line in the sand: it’s him or me — and the fallout could reshape Liverpool’s season.
