Arsenal have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, with La Liga giants Barcelona set to make a move.
Hansi Flick is looking for a long-term successor to super striker Robert Lewandowski, who will be 37 this summer and his contract ends in the 2025-26 season.
The shortlists are all from different leagues, but the most promising one is Isak, mainly because he has proven himself in La Liga for Real Sociedad.
The 25-year-old striker has been in fine form เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย this season, scoring 19 goals and providing five assists in 28 appearances in all competitions, helping the Magpies reach the Carabao Cup final and stay on course for the FA Cup.
The contract runs until June 2028 and the estimated price tag is no less than €75 million. Which could be a big problem for Barcelona, whose finances are tight.
But if the 2024-25 season is a success on the pitch, the status of ‘Azulgrana’ will be more stable. To the point that local media dare to conclude that they are ready to snatch Isak.
Another obstacle to acquiring the Swedish player is that he is being target by several Premier League clubs in England. Such as Arsenal and Manchester United, who are weak in the number 9 position.
