Alexander Isak has been the standout player for Newcastle United this season. He’s scored 22 goals and registered five assists from 31 games and has already been linked to several clubs.
Barcelona are one of them and at the weekend, Mundo Deportivo explained the striker is excited that they are keen on signing him.
Cope reiterate the La Liga side’s desire to sign the Newcastle star in the summer window.
Hansi Flick has Robert Lewandowski as his first-choice striker at the Camp Nou. The Pole has a contract until 2026, with an option for another year, and will turn 37 in August.
Journalist Helena Condis covered Barcelona’s interest in Isak for Cope’s Tiempo de Juego.
She stated Lewandowski will sign a one-year extension, but his wages will be reduced. The Catalan club, despite this, want to bring in a new No.9 in the next window.
Barcelona are now focusing on the Sweden international and Condis claims he is their ‘big objective’ for next season. The 25-year-old’s contract lasts until 2028, and it won’t be easy to snatch him from the Magpies.
Due to Barcelona’s financial situation, Condis claims they have to carry out a big sale to sign Isak in the summer.
