€75m Premier League forward tops the FC Barcelona list of preferred centre-forward reinforcements | OneFootball

The start of this year proved to be rather good for FC Barcelona as it ended their long wait to return to the 1:1 status, which will make it significantly easier for them to make their required moves in the transfer market.

With this change in status, the Catalans are now looking to make some changes in their squad, and to bring in some reinforcements for the weaker areas in the team after letting some of their surplus players leave in January.

In this regard, one of the positions the Blaugranes are looking to strengthen is that of the center-forward, as they are looking for a striker who can turn inside from the left-wing and provide another attacking and goal-scoring threat.

For this purpose, Barcelona have several forwards in their sights, but according to Mundo Deportivo, the one player who is at the top of this list is the Swedish striker Alexander Isak.

The Swede is currently playing for the Premier League side Newcastle United after having joined them in 2022 for €70 million, and has been rather impressive during his time in England. However, the Magpies are not currently playing in the UEFA Champions League, a competition that Isak wants to participate in regularly.

Barcelona particularly like the Swedish striker, even more than his compatriot Viktor Gyokeres, for his technical quality and versatility, and also like his abilities to score and combine with his teammates in the opposition area.

Meanwhile, they are also keeping in view other high-profile names like Rafael Leao and Luis Diaz, whose departures are complicated in January, like that of Isak, because their teams are also fighting for multiple titles.

A more realistic option for the Blaugranes this month will be Marcus Rashford, who is not really trusted by his new coach, Ruben Amorim, and who has already been offered to several clubs in the last few days.
