The Newcastle United superstar has the favors of the sports director Deco, who has already had discussions with the player's representatives in recent months.
Isak was a remarkable player this season, and in addition to Barcelona, he was strongly linked to Real Madrid. Former Premier League midfielder Jamie O'Hara told Grosvenor Sport that the Swedish striker could play for any team in the world.
“Alexander Isak is definitely good enough for teams like Arsenal and Liverpool if you can get him out of Newcastle. In my opinion, it is good enough for Real Madrid – he could play in point for them without problem. He is a very high level player and a world class attacker. »»
Alexander Isak in Madrid?
The problem for Barcelona with regard to Isak is that they should not be able to afford it, especially given their well -documented financial problems. However, O'Hara thinks that the player could force a transfer if Newcastle does not end up in the classification of the Premier League this season.
“I think Newcastle must start doing business and stop going in the standings, because Isak is a player who wants to win trophies and make a career in one of the best clubs in the world. Newcastle tries to become one of these clubs, but it is much more difficult than before.
“If they cannot reach these levels, then they will find it difficult to keep it – he will turn around and say:” I'm going! ” ». They will get a huge sum for him and he will go elsewhere, because he is good enough to play anywhere. »»
It will be a difficult task for Barcelona to recruit Isak, but there is no doubt that he would be among the ideal successors of Robert Lewandowski.
