Newcastle defender Dan Burn says he is happy the transfer saga involving former team-mate Alexander Isak is over.
Sweden striker Isak joined Liverpool from Newcastle on deadline day for a British record £125m.
The move followed weeks of uncertainty and a dispute between Isak and Newcastle, with the 25-year-old wanting to leave but the club refusing to sell him.
Speaking to the media before England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra on Saturday, Burn said he has "no animosity" towards Isak.
"We wanted the transfer window to close to have a bit of clarity on it," said Burn.
"Alex is a mate so it's a tough situation. You want him around to help the team but also for him he has things to do personally, so I have nothing but good wishes."
Burn acknowledged that the saga did cast a shadow over Newcastle's preparations for the 2025-26 season,
"It was frustrating coming into it, knowing that there was something hanging over us, but I have been in football long enough to understand how it works," Burn added on BBC Radio 5 Live.
"Football is a short career and people have got ambitions and things they want to achieve. I am just happy it's over now."
