Transfer: Chelsea take decision on Isak amid negotiations for Hato, Xavi Simons

Chelsea have decided not to pursue a deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United this summer.

Isak has submitted a transfer request to the Magpies and is looking to leave this summer.

But the Blues will not be part of the clubs chasing the 25-year-old, as they are working on deals to sign Jorrel Hato and Xavi Simons.

This was confirmed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on Thursday.

Romano wrote on X: “Chelsea not actively working on Alexander Isak deal and no interest in proceeding despite reports.

“#CFC very happy with their strikers and fully focused on Xavi Simons and Jorrel Hato deals now.

“The club working on Isak deal was, is and remains Liverpool.”
