Newcastle’s star striker, Alexander Isak, is drawing the interest of several top clubs, including Barcelona, according to El Nacional.
Details. Isak has become a key target for Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who sees the Swedish forward as the future “number 9” of the team. Laporta is determined to do whatever it takes to secure his signing.
Isak’s playing style, mobility, and goal-scoring ability are seen as an ideal match for Barça’s needs. Laporta has already informed Deco, the club’s sporting director, of his intentions to bring the striker to the Camp Nou, regardless of the cost.
However, Barcelona’s main obstacle is the transfer fee. Newcastle has made it clear that they will not sell Isak for less than 120 million euros, a sum that is currently beyond Barcelona’s financial reach.

Despite this, Laporta remains committed to the pursuit and is already exploring alternative strategies to make the deal possible in the future. Barcelona is hopeful of securing the transfer by the summer of 2026.
Reminder: It was previously reported that Newcastle suspended contract talks with Isak after he rejected their latest offer for an extension.
