Despite his contract at St.

James' Park running until 2028, Isak has been regularly linked with moves to Newcastle's rivals.

Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the Sweden international and Liverpool's interest has also been reported.

Newcastle put a £150million price tag on him in January, but Isak isn't too concerned about his potential whereabouts beyond the summer.

Speaking ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday, which is live on talkSPORT, he said that his future isn't on his mind.

"I think I’ve said I’m not really thinking about the summer but yeah, that’ll probably be a talking point once the season is finished," Isak said via The Times.

"We will really see because no talks have been held yet.

About my future, it’s nothing really I think about.

"I’ve said many times during a season, just focus on the job and now is probably the worst time to think about anything else, so all of our focus is just on Sunday.

"As I have said many times, I don’t really look too much or think too much about my future.

Isak signed for Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022 for a reported club record fee of £63m.

He has scored 57 goals for the Magpies over three seasons and will make his 100th appearance on Sunday should he feature at Wembley.

The Toon Army feared they could be without their talisman goalscorer for the final against Liverpool due to a groin injury, but those fears were eased when he played 79 minutes of Monday's 1-0 victory over West Ham.

The 25-year-old is third in the Premier League Golden Boot race on 19 goals and could help seal Champions League football for Newcastle.

Eddie Howe's side are sixth and just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with ten league fixtures left to play.

However, the Premier League look set to be given a fifth qualification spot for the Champions League next season.

England are currently top of UEFA's coefficient rankings with a score of 24.250 for the 2024/25 campaign, with Spain second on 21.678.

Two of Europe's leagues will be rewarded with an extra Champions League spot based on their clubs' performances this season.

England and Spain, so the Premier League and LaLiga respectively, are set to be the recipients as things stand.
