Barcelona plans £100m move for Alexander Isak amid Arsenal interest

Barcelona is intensifying its efforts to recruit Alexander Isak from Newcastle United to strengthen its attacking options, as the club faces competition from Arsenal, which also sees Isak as a target following injuries to key players. Barcelona's interest in Isak comes amid reports that the club is also considering Luis Diaz and Benjamin Sesko as potential summer signings. However, Isak's high market value of over £100 million poses a significant challenge for Barcelona, given their precarious financial situation. Meanwhile, Arsenal's decision not to pursue a striker in the January transfer window has left them vulnerable, now eyeing Isak and Sesko for summer recruitment. Both clubs are aware that Isak's future may depend on Newcastle's performance in securing a Champions League spot. If Newcastle falls short, Isak may push for a move, potentially favoring Barcelona as his next destination.
