Catalans shift focus to Isak as Gyökeres leans toward Manchester United move.
Barcelona are preparing a major bid for Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak, making the Swedish forward their priority target for the upcoming summer transfer window, according to The Sun.
The Catalan giants are reportedly impressed by Isak’s rapid rise under Eddie Howe, who recently praised the 24-year-old as a potential future great. The Spanish club sees Isak as a perfect fit to bolster their attacking options for next season and are expected to submit a substantial offer at the end of the current campaign.
Initially, Barcelona had also been tracking Viktor Gyökeres, another Swedish striker currently excelling at Sporting CP. However, the club has shifted its focus to Isak after learning that Gyökeres favors a move to Manchester United, where he could reunite with former manager Ruben Amorim.
Newcastle’s Isak, who has been pivotal in their resurgence in the Premier League and Champions League, will likely come with a hefty price tag. While Barcelona’s financial situation remains delicate, their renewed focus on securing a marquee forward highlights their commitment to staying competitive on all fronts.
This development places Isak at the center of a potential transfer saga, as Newcastle will undoubtedly be reluctant to lose one of their key players. Meanwhile, Gyökeres’ potential move to Old Trafford could signal further excitement in the upcoming transfer window.
