FC Barcelona have thrown their hat into the ring in the race to secure the services of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. Having had a fantastic season at the Magpies, the player has scored a remarkable 21 goals in all competitions so far, with 17 of those coming in the Premier League.
Since joining Newcastle in 2022 for a fee of £60 million, Isak has left a deep mark on the club, scoring 31 goals in 64 games and adding 4 assists. These outstanding performances have raised the interest of several top clubs in the league, including Tottenham and Arsenal. Now, according to the latest reports, Barcelona has decided to enter the race for this talented striker.

Barcelona’s interest in Isak appears to be more than mere speculation, with the Catalan club seeing him as the best replacement for Robert Lewandowski. According to The Sun’s sources, Barcelona have been evaluating Isak as a potential signing since Christmas, seeing him as the leader of their attack in the coming years. Furthermore, with Newcastle needing to balance their books to comply with financial regulations, Barcelona could have a reasonable chance of landing his services.
Isak’s estimated value is around £90 million, a huge sum that the Catalan giants would be willing to negotiate with the Magpies. While Newcastle’s need to sell could open up space for potential deals, Barcelona’s financial situation is also a factor to consider. It remains to be seen whether the Spanish club can make such a big offer for the striker, but it is clear that Isak has become a high-profile target for a number of European giants, including Barcelona.
