Barcelona’s interest in Alexander Isak took a concrete step forward as their scouts descended on Newcastle’s matchup against West Ham last week, eyeing the star striker for a potential summer move.
A Daily Mail report confirmed the presence of club representatives at the game, which saw Newcastle claim a 1-0 victory courtesy of Bruno Guimarães’ strike, even though Isak didn’t find the net.
The Swedish-Eritrean forward has emerged as a prime target for Barcelona, who see him as a serious contender to bolster their attack next season. His standout performances have made him a hot commodity, with the club’s scouting team weighing him alongside other prospects for their summer plans.
At Newcastle, Isak has cemented his status as a key player this season, winning over fans with his flair and consistency. The Magpies, well aware of his value, are gearing up to fend off interest and retain their talisman for the upcoming campaign. Barcelona’s pursuit, however, signals a transfer tug-of-war could be brewing.
