Alexander Isak delivered for Newcastle United during last season's Premier League campaign. 

Isak has been linked with a move to Liverpool, and his latest statement about Newcastle has led to many opinions about the star's future. 

Former Premier League star Wayne Rooney made his thoughts clear on Isak's future at Newcastle. 

What did Rooney say about Isak's future?

Speaking on his BBC podcast, The Wayne Rooney Show, the former player said, "If I'm a Newcastle player, I don't want Isak back. 

"For me, I don't think there's any way back for Isak at Newcastle. I think there are cases where it can happen, but from me as a person, I don't think I could accept them back."

Rooney continued, "In terms of Isak's teammates, I wouldn't want him back.

"You can ask to leave a football club - that happens, or the club tell you you're leaving - but you have to be professional.

"You've got friends in there who you play with, you have fans who are paying a lot of money to support, and you can't just walk out on it. And if they're going to do it once, they'll do it again."

Liverpool had a £110m bid for Isak rejected earlier in the window, and Newcastle have kept their valuation of Isak at £150m. 

A move is also contingent on Newcastle adding a replacement for Isak, as the club continues to pursue Yoane Wissa.
