Barcelona join Arsenal in race to sign Premier League superstar in 2025 – report

Barcelona has already started the search for a successor to Robert Lewandowski, and the idea is that a contract will be signed in the next 1 to 2 years. Next summer would be the first chance of someone arriving and with that in mind a shortlist of potential targets is being drawn up by sporting director Deco.

According to reports in England (via MD), one of the players Barcelona are eyeing is Alexander Isak, who is believed to be pushing for a move away from Newcastle United before the start of next season.

Arsenal are said to be very interested in Isak, and are currently ahead of others in the race to sign the superstar striker if he leaves Newcastle next summer. Sporting CP sensation Viktor Gyokeres, who is also Swedish, is also said to be a target for both clubs.

It will be interesting to follow Barcelona's search for a striker. Given Lewandowski's form this season, it would be a surprise if someone came in to replace him next summer, but that cannot be ruled out.
