FC Barcelona is waiting to know the fair play margin it will have in the current winter transfer market.
The main objective of the Catalan club is to obtain a top-level striker to remedy the deficiencies in the attacking line, a need identified since last summer.
Barcelona’s focus appears to be on finding a striker who can operate on the left flank and through the middle, contribute goals and provide versatility.
Alexander Isak the preferred option
Now, according to Sports WorldAmong the options that Barcelona are considering, they most admire the profile of Newcastle United and Sweden striker Alexander Isak and see him as their preferred target.
The former Real Sociedad player, who cost Newcastle €70 million in 2022, is in excellent form this season, having already scored 15 goals in 22 games and registering four assists.
But according to the report, he is interested in consistent football in the Champions League, something Newcastle may not achieve this season.
Barcelona view Isak as an ideal candidate due to his technical ability, versatility and ability to score both inside and outside the box.
Significantly, Isak is now considered a more attractive option than Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres due to his superior technical ability and adaptability.
Furthermore, his addition could provide a long-term solution as Robert Lewandowski, 36, approaches the latter stages of his career.
Other potential targets on Barcelona’s radar include Liverpool’s Luis Diaz (27) and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao (25).
However, both players are unlikely to move in January due to their importance to their respective clubs, who compete at the highest level at national and European level.
