The star of Newcastle, Alexander Isak, has attracted the attention of the leaders of Barcelona. The Catalan club are expected to make a bid for the striker in the summer transfer window, and the Spaniards are said to view the Swede as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The leaders of the club know that Alexander Isak has the right quality to return to the point of reference for the team, in the offensive department.
The main problem for making this transfer is the cost for the player's card. Newcastle values Isak's card at 100 million pounds, a fairly high figure for any team. Especially for Barcelona, considering the financial problems of the Spanish club. Some sources close to the club indicate that the Catalans can make an offer in a combined form, i.e. money, and at the same time one of their players, to secure Isak.
However, Newcastle remain skeptical of letting go of one of their best and most important players. The Swedish striker has attracted the attention of rival Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Arsenal. The latter are said to be ready to break their record for the most expensive transfer to bring Alexander Isak to the Emirates. In case the Swede decides to leave Newcastle, the club's management would prefer the player to move somewhere outside England, and not to one of the rival clubs in the Premier League. This aspect favors Barcelona in the race for the services of the talented striker.
Isak has an active contract with his club until 2028, and for now remains an important part of the project of coach Eddie Howe. Sources close to the club suggest that Howe is calm and confident that the club will not sell one of their most important players, but that remains to be seen.
