The names follow one another but the profiles are all different. The day after the 3-0 victory against Stade Brestois with a double from Robert Lewandowski, author of his 100th and 101st goals in the Champions League, a new avenue would be explored by FC Barcelona for the successor of the Polish striker. This is Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, author of 9 goals in 16 matches in all competitions this season. A colossal offer is expected to be made by the Blaugranas at the end of the season as he is under contract until 2028 with the Magpies and his market value is estimated at €75 million. But with four more years under contract, the transaction could reach 100 million euros.
Arsenal enter the race
But FC Barcelona is not the only one interested in the arrival of the 1.92m Swedish striker since Mikel Arteta has made him his priority for 2026 at Arsenal. While the Gyokeres operation seems to have fallen through because he would like to join Manchester United, the Gunners will try to steal the powerful striker and strengthen his attacking point. This interest from Barça comes, coincidence or not, exactly a week after Newcatsle coach Eddie Howe declared “that Alex has undeniable qualities. I would place him among the best attackers in the world currently active. » The Catalans still remain cautious because Isak has an extension offer on the table and if he signs it, the operation will become too expensive.
