Bruno Guimarães has admitted that Newcastle United cannot afford to lose more of their best players after watching Alexander Isak successfully force a transfer to Liverpool.
The Magpies were reluctant to let Isak go but eventually had to concede defeat when the striker went public with his desire to leave and spent the majority of preseason separate from the squad. Once the decision was made to sell, at least it was for a British record £125 million ($169.5 million).
