Shearer expressed his surprise at Isak's behavior, stating that he didn't expect the striker to act in such a way. The two had a conversation a few months ago, during which Isak spoke positively about the club and his role within it.

Shearer highlighted the key differences between Isak's situation and that of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left Liverpool to join Real Madrid. Unlike Isak, Alexander-Arnold never refused to play for his club and featured until the end of his contract.

Shearer emphasized that Isak still has three years left on his contract and has refused to play for the club, which he believes is a significant factor in the situation. He also acknowledged that Liverpool fans may feel upset about not receiving a large transfer fee for Alexander-Arnold, who is a Liverpool native.

The situation remains uncertain, with Isak missing the team's pre-season training camp and tour of Asia amid ongoing speculation about his future.
