Barcelona has stepped up their interest in Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad as the Catalan club is keen to sign a new striker in the summer.
Martin Braithwaite is Barcelona’s only out-and-out striker in the squad, while Ronald Koeman generally preferred to play Lionel Messi there anyway, having sold Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid last summer. It must be nice.
Memphis Depay from Lyon was touted as a possible choice, but ESPN claims that the name of Isak was frequently brought up in discussions about the transfer strategy of the club, with scouts greatly impressed with the 21-year-old.
