Luis Enrique is breaking down and preparing to say yes to recruiting a center forward. But it will only be the player of his choice, who shines in the Premier League.
The wedding night is over between Luis Enrique and Luis Campos. If the two men walked hand in hand last summer for the daring recruitment of Paris Saint-Germain without replacing Kylian Mbappé, they are no longer on the same wavelength as often. The Portuguese dreams of bringing in a real number 9, and is thinking very strongly of Victor Osimhen or Viktor Gyokeres. Not enough to make Luis Enrique dream, for whom there is not particularly an urgent need at the top. But failures in the Champions League increase the pressure, and the Spanish coach ended up pushing his leaders towards a player in particular.
Newcastle already have Isak's replacement in their sights
This is Alexander Isak, the Newcastle striker who understood that it would be difficult to return to the Champions League with the Magpies who were a little less ambitious than at the start of the club's takeover by Saudi Arabia. According to Fichajes, the 25-year-old Swede has qualities, in speed of execution and depth, that interest Luis Enrique. Even if Isak perhaps does not have the quality in finishing of a certain Gonçalo Ramos, the former FC Barcelona coach believes that Isak can allow him to take a step forward in major European matches.
PSG has been warned, and it will have a big effort to make since Isak has a price of 100 million euros. This is the amount necessary to force Newcastle to sell him, knowing that the Magpies are theoretically counting on him this season. Especially since the English club is considering going all out on a certain… Viktor Gyokeres if Isak were to be sold. The circle would be completed and PSG would finally have a young star in attack, capable of transforming the face of the Ile-de-France team in the Champions League. This is even if any recruit in the January transfer window will not be able to play in the last two European matches of the regular season phase, against Manchester City and Stuttgart.
