It is expected that next summer Barcelona will be spending big on a forward who can be the star goalscorer for the foreseeable future.
One player who has been linked a lot is Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and reports have claimed that he is Deco’s number one target.
However, Newcastle are owned by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and they are not in desperate need to balance their books out.
Due to this, as well as Eddie Howe’s side being on the brink of Champions League football, English media has claimed that the Magpies would want £150million to let him leave next summer.
Despite this, Sport have reported that Barcelona still wants to sign Isak and have even made contact with his camp.
The report does state that the Premier League side only want €100million for the Swedish forward, a much more affordable fee compared to the quotes in England.
If the Blaugrana decide they want the 25-year-old striker then they will face stiff competition as Arsenal have also been following him for some time.
Joan Laporta will not want to get into a bidding war with Premier League sides so if they can agree a deal with his entourage then it could give them a big advantage when the time comes to buy him.
