Alexander Isak<\/a> is not expected to attend the Professional Footballers’ Association awards ceremony on Tuesday amid continuing uncertainty surrounding his future, sources have told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Isak has been shortlisted for the 2024-25 PFA Player of the Year award alongside Mohamed Salah<\/a>, Alexis Mac Allister<\/a>, Declan Rice<\/a>, Cole Palmer<\/a> and Bruno Fernandes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the striker, who scored 23 Premier League<\/a> goals for Newcastle United<\/a> last season, is set to miss the event.<\/p>\n

The PFA will also announce the 2024-25 team of the year at the awards gala at the Opera House in Manchester.<\/p>\n

Isak has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old, who is keen to move to Anfield, is at odds with Newcastle and was not in the squad for their first game of the season as Eddie Howe’s side drew 0-0<\/a> with Aston Villa<\/a> at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Howe said afterwards<\/a> he wants the situation to be “resolved quickly.”<\/p>\n

Liverpool have had one bid for Isak turned down by Newcastle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– Isak, H\u00f8jlund, Gu\u00e9hi sagas show loyalty in football is scarce<\/a>
– Newcastle boss Howe hopes Isak situation is ‘resolved quickly’<\/a>
– Liverpool pass \u00a3200m in outgoing player revenue<\/a><\/p>\n

Sources have told ESPN that Liverpool will only return with another offer if Newcastle indicate they are willing to negotiate.<\/p>\n

The two clubs are set to face each other in the Premier League at St James’ Park on Monday.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are expected to send a large delegation to the PFA awards on Tuesday with a number of players expected to be named in the team of the year.<\/p>\n

A year ago, all 11 members of the 2023-24 PFA team of the year gathered on stage at the Opera House with players from Manchester City<\/a>, Arsenal<\/a> and Liverpool included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexander Isak is not expected to attend the Professional Footballers’ Association awards ceremony on Tuesday amid continuing uncertainty…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81244,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-81243","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81243\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
