Euro giants plan to table mega-money offer for NUFC star next year – report | OneFootball

Barcelona have made Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak their number one summer target and will make a mega-money offer for him, according to the Sun.

The European giants want to bolster their attacking ranks and have identified the Magpies star as the man to help take them to the next level.

Isak has been regularly linked with an exit in recent months, and the Sweden international is expected to push for an exit if Newcastle fail to finish in the top-four at the end of this season.

The 25-year-old is also on the radar of Arsenal, and more clubs will join them and Barca in the race once it becomes clear that he is available for sale.

The Toons will want top dollar from suitors for Isak after they spent £63 million to recruit his services from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022, and they will not be in any rush to sell him as he still has more than three years remaining on his current contract.

He was reluctant to commit his future to Newcastle during preliminary talks at the end of last season, and his stance has not changed.

The St. James Park club are 10th in the Premier League table after losing four and drawing three of their opening 12 games of 2024-25, and qualifying for the Champions League next season is already starting to look impossible despite just four points separating them from the top-four.

A return to La Liga could appeal to Isak, and the opportunity to succeed 36-year-old Robert Lewandowski and lead Barca to success in Spain and in Europe could be too good for him to turn down if they come calling.

Despite the length of his contract, cashing in on him at the end of the season could be the best time for Newcastle to make the most money from a sale, but a saga could be on the cards if their asking price drives suitors away.
