Several names have been mentioned as potential additions for the Blaugrana, but none of them will be cheap. And even less Alexander Isak.
The Blaugrana are about to extend the Lewandowski contract for at least one additional season, or even two, which will likely exclude a transfer for players like Isak. Although the Polish striker will be 37 years old in August, he seems ready to lead the attack line of the Hansi Flick team, and remains the Pichichi of La Liga, having already accumulated 33 goals this season.
Very coveted Isak
Recent reports have noted that the lewandowski contract extension is a sign that Barcelona will not tackle the number 9 post this summer, largely due to the cost. If that was the case, Isak would be the favorite option. However, the Catalan giants are aware that the Battle for the signing of Isak will be fierce, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain forming a long and rich list of contenders. The Paris club would also be particularly eager to offer the “new Zlatan”.
For his part, Isak is ” excited By the prospect of playing for Barcelona, and the fact that he appears on their limited list according to MD. The Swedish striker is aware that a transfer to Catalonia is also unlikely, since Newcastle United will only sell it for an offer more than 100 M €. He also earns a salary of € 18 million per year, a figure that his agents will try to improve with his next contract.
FC Barcelona was also linked to Benjamin Sesko, the RB Leipzig striker, and Viktor Gyokeres, Sporting CP, but given the market speed, it seems unlikely that they are available in two seasons. Likewise, new talents and new names will emerge.
