Barça is already planning for the future, with Alexander Isak in its crosshairs. While Robert Lewandowski, with 31 goals and 3 assists in 33 games, continues to deliver, the club is looking ahead.
And that future could be none other than Alexander Isak, the Swedish striker from Newcastle. According to journalist José Alvarez, he is the top priority for the Blaugranas in the upcoming transfer window.
The player has been shining in the Premier League this season, scoring 17 goals and providing 5 assists. Isak could be the perfect complement to Lewandowski before eventually succeeding him as Barça’s main attacking threat. However, securing his transfer won’t be easy.
Under contract with Newcastle until 2028, the Swedish forward won’t be easy to pry away. His market value is estimated at around €75 million, a hefty sum for a Barcelona side still navigating financial constraints. Despite these challenges, the club’s management could make a serious push this summer to seize the opportunity.

The sporting project could also be a major factor. Under Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona is competing for the La Liga title, has reached the Copa del Rey semi-finals, and is in the Champions League Round of 16. A project like this would be enticing for any striker.
But with Barça, as has been the case for several transfer windows now… everything will depend on the finances.
