Barcelona is determined to sign an attacker at the highest level in the summer, and there is a great possibility that a striker is the position. Robert Lewandowski will be 37 at the start of the following season, and although he is expected to stay in the club until 2026, there is a desire that his successor will be brought in as quickly as possible.
In terms of Spits goals, Alexander Isak is at the very top of the list. Barcelona Sporting Director Deco is a big fan of the Newcastle United Superstar, to the point that conversations were even held with his representatives last summer, although nothing happened on that occasion.
Isak would be an ambitious signing for Barcelona, given their well -documented financial misery, and the fact that Newcastle would demand a very high transfer costs. But things now look more impossible for the Catalans, because it has been reported in England (via MD) that the Premier League side will not consider offers for their Swedish striker during the summer transfer window, even if they do not secure European qualification.
It means that Barcelona would not have a chance to bring in Isak in the summer, so if Deco continues with his plans to sign a new striker, it should be someone else. There have been ties with various other players, such as Viktor Gyokees and Benjamin Sesko, although neither is so well loved as Isak.
There is little doubt that Isak would be an extraordinary signing for Barcelona, but they would have to wait to get it. It may be worth using this summer to continue to improve their finances to a position that they can spend very large on a player they can do for the Newcastle man in 2026 when Lewandowski is expected to leave.
