The prosecution by Barcelona of Alexander Isak has taken a positive turn – with reports in Spain stating that the Newcastle United striker actively pushes a move to Camp Nou this summer.
The future of the 25 -year -old in St James’ Park seems uncertain, especially if Newcastle does not guarantee football from the Champions League next season. According to El NacionalIsak has already refused the approaches of Arsenal and Liverpool while he holds around for a dream change in Barcelona, which is very lively.
However, an agreement will not be easy. Newcastle demanded at least 180 million euros for the Swedish international, which could prove to be a major triple for Barcelona whose financial problems are well documented.
Despite this, the president of the club, Joan Laporta, would be “willing to do everything possible” to win the prolific striker, who is considered to be the long -term ideal successor of Robert Lewandowski.
Isak was in the form of red this season, scoring 22 goals and providing five assists in 31 appearances.
Liverpool also keep an eye on the situation, considering Isak as a potential replacement of Darwin Nunez. After his out -of -competition exhibition against Man United in December, Jamie Carragher even said on Sky Sports: “He is the best attacker of the Premier League at the moment, and he is, I don’t think it’s actually close at the moment, I think he is the real out of competition.”
What did Alexander Isak said about to move away from Newcastle United?
In November, Isak was asked about the links far from St James’ Park, and said: “Throughout my career, I have never spoken or really commented on rumors of moving during the season. There have been many years of this type that we have talked about. It doesn’t affect me.
“I comment on my situation in Newcastle, and I never had a problem there. I focus fully on my task there and that we will have a fantastic season. There are still great opportunities for this. I have no thought on anything else.
Isak then responded to the statements suggesting that his representatives become frustrated by Newcastle after the contractual talks. Questioned directly on this subject, he added: “The only thing I can say is that a lot of information and rumors are often going out. A large part of what I read is not true. So that’s about everything I can say about everything.
