Recent reports indicate that Barcelona is looking to find a replacement for Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. The team is struggling with depth in the forward position, relying solely on Lewandowski for goals. It has also been suggested that Vitor Roque may be on the verge of a permanent move to Real Betis, partly due to Hansi Flick’s lack of faith in Ansu Fati, highlighting the need for another striker.
According to the Spanish site “fichajes,” Alexander Isak has emerged as a key target for Barcelona for the upcoming summer transfer window. However, Newcastle United is expected to resist letting him go, as they are contemplating a contract renewal and a significant salary increase for the player.
Nonetheless, the player’s strong desire to join Barcelona is expected to be a significant factor in finalizing the deal in their favor. The source noted that Isak has been on Barcelona’s radar for several years prior to his move to Newcastle United, but demands from Real Sociedad had previously hindered the transfer.
