The 25-year-old striker refused to play for “Coțofane”, and eventually was sold at “Cormorants” in the last minutes of the transfer period, in a business valued at 125 million pounds (approx. 145 million euros), a record amount in English football.

“I didn't like how everything was over. I do not think it is ethical to protest this way and refuse to play for a club that pays your salary and you are under contract.

I understand the situations in which a club wants to sell a player, because he is the one who pays his salary. But when you sign a document, you have the obligation to respect it, ”said Shearer.

“Alexander Isak is a valuable footballer who has transferred to a top team. I have no doubt that Liverpool will be a serious candidate for all possible trophies. However, as I said before, the way this situation was held did not like it at all.

I thank him for what he offered in Newcastle, but caused a great bargain during the summer, “added the legendary English striker, holder of the goals record in the history of Premier League (260).

“No one had to win from this situation. The way things have been carried out is harmful to the image of football and for supporters, which are the basis of this wonderful sport.

It is not fair for a club to pay you, and you refuse to play. After all, he obtained the transfer he wanted, “concluded Newcastle's former attacker, now TV analyst.
