Newcastle boss tells the club to resist any offer for the star Alexander Isak after Barcelona saw the Swedish striker in West Ham

Newcastle president Yasir Al-Rumayyan has told the club's hierarchy to resist any offer for his favorite player Alexander Isak this summer.

The governor of the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the owners of the majority of the club, was in Wembley on Sunday to see the Magpies lift their first national trophy in 70 years. He observed the 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Capao Cup final from the Royal Box, before joining the team in Wembley's Boxpark for a celebration party.

And we understand that the Saudi boss is inflexible in which Isak, scorer of the second goal against the Reds, will not go anywhere. The sources have told us that Al-Rumayyan is sweeter in the Swedish striker than any other player.

We can reveal that Barcelona saw the 25-year-old during the 1-0 victory last week in West Ham, and it is said that Spanish giants want a marquee firm before their first complete season at Camp Nou. The president of Barça, Joan Laporta, is a great admirer of Isak, who played in LaLiga for the Royal Society.

Newcastle has not discussed a sale price for its star, because the message above is clear: at -rumayyan and PIF do not want to sell. You have three years to run in your contract and the conversations on an improved agreement at the end of the season will be explored. However, a return to the Champions League could still demonstrate that it is key to give the player the salary he deserves and equals his ambition.

Meanwhile, Newcastle is planning a celebration to set your Cup Cup Caabao on Saturday, March 29 in Tyneside. The event will give fans the opportunity to see the trophy exhibited by Eddie Howe and its players.
