One of Barcelona’s main objectives before the 2025/26 season starts is to reinforce its center forward position.
Regardless of Robert Lewandowski’s future, the Catalan club is determined to focus significant financial efforts on strengthening its forward line.
Among the candidates on Barcelona’s radar are high-profile names such as Erling Haaland, Viktor Gyokeres and Rafael Leao.
Barcelona also likes Alexander Isak
Now, according to SPORT, Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is also a player who is on FC Barcelona’s radar to reinforce the ‘9’ position.
The 24-year-old Sweden international moved to the Premier League club in the summer of 2022 for a transfer fee of €70 million, following successful spells at Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad.
Barcelona have closely monitored Isak’s progress, impressed by his age, potential and consistent performances.
After an initial adaptation period in England, Isak finished with 25 goals in 40 appearances. This season, he is on track to achieve similar figures, having scored 11 goals in the Premier League.
Selling price too high
However, Newcastle’s asking price is a major obstacle to Barcelona’s interest in acquiring the player, especially given their financial constraints.
According to the report, the Magpies value their star goalscorer at around £150m, which at current exchange rates translates to €180m, a valuation the government considers unviable. blaugrana.
Isak signed a six-year contract with Newcastle in the summer of 2022, meaning he will be linked to the club until June 30, 2028.
The English club has no intention of selling him at a reduced price, although Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool are also paying attention to the situation.
As such, Barcelona would have to go bankrupt if they intend to pursue the signing of Isak in the summer of 2025.
