Alexander Isak is undoubtedly the most in-form '9' in English football at the moment. The 25-year-old forward is having his best time at Newcastle and, although he is contracted with the 'Magpies' until 2028, several top clubs in Europe could go after the Swedish international next summer transfer window. The bidding promises to be intense, but FC Barcelona could join in search of a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
According to 'TBR Football', the Blaugrana board is "pleasantly impressed" with the explosion of the former Real Sociedad attacker and does not rule out joining the 'race' for Isak in the summer. Joan Laporta wants to sign a 'top' scorer for the next season and, if the option of Viktor Gyökeres ultimately fades, the Stockholm native is a very interesting alternative that could arrive for around 80 million euros.
For Barça, a signing of this nature is feasible for the upcoming summer market. Thanks to the return to the 1:1 rule being secured and the possibility of bringing in a fortune with the sales of Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo, the club has its sights set on at least two star reinforcements to make a strong return to Spotify Camp Nou. In that sense, a left winger and a center forward are the priority positions for the culé plans, not forgetting another defensive pivot and a left-back.
Alexander Isak, the most in-form forward in English football
With his goal against Arsenal on Tuesday in the first leg of the English League Cup 'semis' (0-2), Isak improved his scoring streak with Newcastle. The forward has scored in seven consecutive Premier League matches, netting at least one goal, and has scored 10 goals in his last eight official matches. With this, his records have improved to 15 goals and 4 assists in 22 matches (1,764 minutes) so far in the 2024-25 season.
Alexander had a slow start to the season, with only one goal in the first eight Premier League matches. However, since late October, he has not stopped 'scoring' with Eddie Howe's team. The team remains fifth in the English standings with 35 points, just one behind Chelsea (fourth with 36). Since his arrival in England in 2022, the Stockholm native has scored 50 goals in 89 official matches.
