Alexander Isak, the incredible twist

FC Barcelona is determined to recruit a high -level player this summer, and it is very likely that it is an attacker.

Robert Lewandowski will be 37 years old at the start of next season, and although it is planned to stay at the club until 2026 at the earliest, there is a desire for his successor to be recruited as quickly as possible.

In terms of attacker targets, the name that appears at the top of the list is Alexander Isak. The sports director of FC Barcelona, ​​Deco, is a big fan of the Newcastle United superstar, to the point that discussions even took place with its representatives last summer, although nothing happened on this occasion.

Isak would be an ambitious signature for Barcelona given their well -documented financial problems and the fact that Newcastle would require very high transfer costs. But things seem even more impossible now for the Catalans, because it has been reported in England (via MD) that the Premier League team would not consider any offer for its Swedish striker during the summer transfer window, even if they do not manage not to qualify for the European Cup.

Alexander Isak will not go to Barça

This means that Barcelona will have no chance of bringing Isak during the summer, so if Deco continues his projects to recruit a new attacker, it will have to be someone else. There have been links with several other players, such as Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, although none of the two is as appreciated as Isak.
