The FC Barcelona has not lost sight of Alexander Isak, the forward from Newcastle United, as the ideal candidate to replace Robert Lewandowski in their attack. Despite the Swedish player proving to be one of the great promises of the Premier League, FC Barcelona faces a significant challenge: the English club has set a price tag of over 110 million euros for his transfer, a figure that is currently unattainable for the blaugrana coffers.
Barcelona's two viable options to sign Isak: deferred payment or player exchanges in the deal.
Faced with this economic obstacle, FC Barcelona has started to formulate alternatives to close the agreement without endangering its financial stability. According to sources close to the negotiation, the Catalan club would be willing to offer 65 million euros initially, with deferred payments that could reach 110 million in the coming years. This proposal seeks to make the conditions more flexible and allow Barcelona to distribute payments over time, which could make the signing viable.
However, it is not solely an economic offer. Barcelona is also considering including two players in the deal. One of them would be loaned to Newcastle for a year, while the other could transfer permanently to the English club. With this strategy, FC Barcelona aims to reduce the immediate financial burden of the transfer and give Newcastle the opportunity to strengthen its squad with quality players that complement its project.
Isak, on his part, has shown himself to be a promising forward, with great ability to adapt to the playing style of the top European teams. His speed, technique, and scoring instinct make him an attractive option for Barcelona, which is looking for a successor to Lewandowski who can lead the frontline into the future. Negotiations will remain open in the coming months, awaiting a resolution that allows FC Barcelona to take the next step in its sporting project.
