Ever since joining Barça, Robert Lewandowski has been an amazing servant and produced some amazing moments.
However, the Polish international is no spring chicken, turning 37-years-old this year and with his contract set to end in 2026, there are currently no signs that the Blaugrana are going to extend his deal.
Due to this, Barcelona have been linked with numerous strikers who could replace Lewandowski in the near future.
Viktor Gyökeres is set to be a hot commodity next summer and the Catalonian side are just one of many top clubs linked with a move for the Swedish international.
However, according to TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey, Hansi Flick’s side have been scouting another Swede too.
Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is reportedly a player that Barcelona have been watching for some time.
The report states that Erling Haaland is still Joan Laporta’s number one target but there is an acceptance that he could extend his current deal with Manchester City, forcing the club to look at other options.
Barça apparently sent scouts to watch the 25-year-old striker in the first round of the Carabao Cup where he scored in Newcastle’s 2-0 away win over Arsenal.
Recent performances have left Barcelona ‘massively impressed’, however, they are set to face stiff competition from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG all recently making enquiries about his availability.
According to the article, if Newcastle fail to make the Champions League this season then they will most likely accept that Isak will need to be sold.
However, rumours in England are claiming that the Magpies have placed a pricetag of £150million on the 25-year-old.
The former Real Sociedad has proven he can score in La Liga but any deal seems dependant on the Premier League side lowering the price, especially when you consider Barcelona’s current financial situation.
