According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Alexander Isak has become one of Barcelona president Joan Laporta’s top priorities. The Catalan president is fully convinced that the Swedish striker is the ideal choice to take over as the team’s number 9 in the future and is determined to do everything in his power to secure his signature. Isak’s playing style, versatility, and goal-scoring ability align perfectly with Barcelona’s needs, and Laporta has already informed sporting director Deco of his intention to sign him at any cost.
Although Barcelona’s board acknowledges that signing Isak this summer is nearly impossible, Laporta has devised a long-term plan. His objective is to pave the way for a potential deal in 2026, when the club’s financial situation is expected to be more stable and Robert Lewandowski is likely to leave, freeing up wages and space in attack.
Laporta sees Isak as a player capable of making a significant impact and considers him the perfect candidate to lead Barcelona’s front line in the coming era. His youth, his ability to operate across various attacking roles, and his impressive performances in the Premier League make him an ideal target in the eyes of the club’s management.
Laporta has instructed Deco to prioritize the player and to make every effort to lay the groundwork for a future transfer. However, given Newcastle’s financial strength and the club’s lack of urgency to sell, Barcelona’s only viable option is to prepare a plan that would allow them to negotiate when conditions become more favorable.
