FC Barcelona are planning to disrupt Arsenal’s plans in the upcoming transfer window. The Spanish giants are showing interest to sign long-term Arsenal target who will cost a hefty amount of money.
The star in question here is Alexander Isak of Newcastle United. Isak has been one of the best strikers in the world since last season. He ended last season with 25 goals and 2 assists for Magpies last season.
Isak has continued his fine form this season as well. He has so far scored 19 goals and picked 5 assists in 28 games. As a result, he is being looked upon by many top clubs and Arsenal are said to be frontrunners in the race.
Isak is open to move away from Newcastle as he wants to play UCL regularly. The Magpies will let him leave if they fail to secure UCL spot. However, they want a British record fee for the 25 year old.
Arsenal will have a very busy summer transfer window. Isak is their top priority for the summer but he is also joined by Benjamin Sesko. As per the latest reports, Gunners will now have more competition for Isak from Spanish giants.
Barcelona showing interest in Alexander Isak
El Chiringuito have reported that Barca have made Isak their top priority for summer. They will need to replace Rober Lewandowski soon who is nearing the end of his career. But, signing Isak may prove very trick for Spanish giants.
Barca are in tough phase financially right now. They will find it very hard to agree with the demands of Newcastle United. They will have to part ways with some stars first before making any move for Alexander Isak.
Due to finances, Arsenal still stay as frontrunners to sign Isak. But, they will also try to negotiate on lower fee as many more positions need new additions. Isak transfer saga is expected to get more interesting very soon.
