This summer, Barcelona is once again looking to reinforce its attack, with manager Hansi Flick keen to strengthen the forward line despite the impressive performances.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha have been in fine form this season.
However, the club remains determined to add more firepower, as they know that having a deeper squad will be crucial for the challenges ahead.
Barcelona’s current focus seems to be on bringing in a new striker, with multiple targets in mind.
One of those on their radar is Alexander Isak who has caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs, but there is a growing sense that their pursuit may face competition.
Despite the Catalan club’s interest in Alexander Isak, the player’s preference to stay in the Premier League could drastically alter Barcelona’s plans.
The Swedish forward has been in excellent form for Newcastle United, impressing with his goal-scoring ability and overall technical skill.
Having scored 19 goals and provided 6 assists in just 25 appearances this season, Isak has firmly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising young talents.
Barcelona sees the 24-year-old as a perfect addition to their attack, but they face a major hurdle.
The player’s current preference is to wait for an offer from the Premier League, especially from Liverpool, who have been watching him closely under their new manager Arne Slot, as per El Nacional.
While Barcelona’s attacking players like Yamal and Raphinha provide exciting options, the club’s financial struggles are well-known, which could hinder their ability to make a big-money signing.
With the asking price for the forward nearing €90 million, the situation remains complicated.
Although Barcelona remains hopeful, Liverpool’s competitive edge, especially after their rise to the top of the Premier League, could make them the front-runner in this transfer battle.
Barcelona might find themselves on the outside looking in if Liverpool makes a decisive move for the Swedish forward.
