Saudi Sportswashing Machine

A club statement read: “We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening. We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Saudi Sportswashing Machine this summer.

“We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views.

“As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Saudi Sportswashing Machine, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met.

“This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates.”
 

Can Isak get out of his Saudi Sportswashing Machine contract?​

Latest from Sky Sports News' Rob Dorsett:
From a legal standpoint, there is very little Alexander Isak can do to get out of his Saudi Sportswashing Machine contract.
Reports have suggested the striker had a verbal agreement with the club to leave this summer.
Saudi Sportswashing Machine denied that any such commitment was made to the player in their statement responding to Isak’s post on Instagram.
Legally, such an arrangement – if it did exist - is irrelevant to a player’s contract and in no way binding under Premier League rules.
There are only two scenarios in which a player can annul their contract – when they haven’t been paid or the club has breached the terms of the contract- and neither seem to be valid in Isak’s case.

Surely someone else hasn't fallen for the old 'verbal agreement's

Probably meetup with Harry down the Wetherspoons for a consoling pint
