Barcelona’s pursuit of Alexander Isak has taken a positive shift – with references to Spain claiming that Newcastle United Striker is actively pushing for a move on Camp Nou this summer.
The future of the 25 -year -old St James’ Park seems uncertain, especially if Newcastle does not secure the Champions League football next season. According to El NacionalISAK has already rejected approaches from both Arsenal and Liverpool as he holds for a dream transition to Barcelona, which are very intense.
However, an agreement will not come easy. Newcastle requires at least 180 million euros for Sweden International, which is an end that could prove to be a major obstacle to Barcelona whose financial issues are well documented.
However, the President of the Joan Laporta Club is said to be “willing to do everything possible” to land the productive front, which is considered to be the ideal long -term successor to Robert Lewandowski.
Isak is in a red hot form this season, gives 22 goals and provides five assists in 31 appearances.
Liverpool also maintains tabs for the situation, Reportedly, the display of ISAK as a possible replacement of Darwin Nunez. After his exhibition appearance against Man United in December, Jamie Carragher even told Sky Sports: “He’s the best of the Premier League right now and it’s, I don’t think it’s really close right now, I think it’s the real standout.”
What did Alexander Isak say to get away from Newcastle United?
In November, ISAK was asked in the links away from St James’ Park and said, “Throughout my career, I have never spoken or really commented on rumors of the season. There have been many such years where he has spoken. It does not affect me.
“I comment on my situation in Newcastle and I never had any problems there. I am fully focused on my work there and that we will have a fantastic time. There are still great opportunities for it. I have no thoughts about anything else.”
ISAK then responded to claims suggesting that its representatives are being frustrated by Newcastle after conversations. Asked immediately about it, he added: “The only thing I can say is that a lot of information and rumors often come out. Many of what I read is not true. That’s all I can say about the whole thing.”
