Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing the Newcastle United attacker Alexander Isak in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona are preparing a €100 million offer to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak in the summer. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
The Blaugrana are going through financial difficulties, and paying €100 million for the Swedish international could prove to be difficult despite what the report suggests. If they manage to get the deal done, it could be an exceptional acquisition for them.
The 25-year-old has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season, and he is one of the best strikers in the Premier League right now. He could be the ideal replacement for Robert Lewandowski in the long run. The opportunity to join Barcelona will be quite attractive for him.
The Catalan outfit are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and he will want to fight for major trophies with them. The Swede has proven himself at Newcastle United, and he could look to take the next step in his career now. He has been linked with Premier League heavyweights like Liverpool and Arsenal as well.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they might find it difficult to compete with Premier League clubs for the Swedish international, unless what the report has mentioned is true.
Newcastle United will not want to lose Isak easily
Newcastle United are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they do not need to sell their key players for money. The Magpies are looking to build a formidable squad capable of fighting for trophies, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to sell the Swedish international in the summer.
It seems highly unlikely that they will sanction his departure for €100 million. Newcastle United will be hoping to compete in the Champions League regularly and fight for trophies. They need to hold on to their best players, and selling Isak will not be an option for them unless an absurd amount of money is presented.
