Barcelona have reportedly identified Newcastle United forward, Alexander Isak as an alternative striker target if Sporting Lisbon’s talisman, Viktor Gyokeres rejects their advances.
In the event that their chase of Gyokeres fails, the Catalan giants are getting ready to move quickly.
According to Barca Universal, Barcelona believe Isak possesses the skills necessary to spearhead their attack next season and beyond, which is why they are interested in him.
The 25-year-old has already made an impact this season with five goals and two assists in 12 games. And reports indicate the club is prepared to make a sizable offer to acquire his services.

He is a desirable addition to Barcelona’s changing attacking department because of his adaptability, precision, and ability to link up plays.
The Blaugrana have apparently decided to turn their attention to Isak after realizing that signing Gyokeres may be difficult.
This is due to the forward’s apparent inclination for a Premier League transfer. The Sporting forward’s likely destination appears to be Manchester United, under the direction of Ruben Amorim, allowing Barcelona to search for other options.
According to sources in England, Isak has drawn interest from Arsenal. Mikel Arteta has reportedly made him a top priority for 2025.
Newcastle are unfazed by the increasing interest because he has a contract with the team through 2028.
