Barcelona linked with fresh move for Alexander Isak
Barcelona have thrown theirs hat into the ring, joining Arsenal in the race to secure the signature of Alexander Isak, as uncertainty clouds the future of the Newcastle striker.
Isak has made his mark at Newcastle, featuring prominently in 61 matches, where he showcased his goal-scoring prowess by finding the back of the net 31 times and providing 4 assists to his teammates.
On the international stage, Isak has represented Sweden in 44 games, adding 10 goals to his tally, further solidifying his reputation as a potent attacking threat.
Reports from SunSport have brought to light Barcelona’s interest in the Swedish striker, with the Spanish giants eyeing him as a potential long-term replacement for the legendary Robert Lewandowski.
This interest stems partly from Barcelona’s belief that Newcastle may be open to offloading Isak, as they navigate the intricacies of Financial Fair Play (FFP) and Player Salary Regulations (PSR), seeking to balance their financial books.
