The FC Barcelona and Alexander Isak deal could have gone from mere interest to a concrete reality. The casting of strikers is at a 'red hot' in the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou, and despite the fact that the figures of Erling Haaland and Viktor Gyökeres appear as the favourites of the culés, the Newcastle striker would be gaining ground within the club.
This is reported by 'The Sun', where they reveal that the Barcelona entity would have made the 25-year-old Swede one of their priorities to reinforce the position. In fact, the Catalans, aware of the footballer's desire to change scenery at the end of the season, would be willing to make a strong investment to ensure his signing.
The million that Barça should pay for Isak
However, his operation would not be simple by any means. Firstly, the Magpies do not want to let him go and are looking to improve his contract, which expires in 2028, and Arsenal are also reportedly very interested in the Nordic player and are planning to offer a figure close to 100 million euros to sign him.
An offer that, by the way, could fall short of Newcastle's demands, who would demand around 120 million to let one of their main stars leave. These exorbitant amounts could pose a serious problem for the Catalans, who could definitively rule out Isak if the price of his transfer ends up rising to these emoluments.
