Barcelona are clear that their main transfer target for next season, with Neymar looking increasingly difficult, is Lautaro Martinez. But even the arrival of the Argentinean, who has a buyout clause of 110 million euros, could get complicated.
For that reason, the Catalans continue looking for alternatives. The signing of Braithwaite as a temporary reinforcement to replace Suarez and Dembele, despite the long contract, does not stop possible purchases in the offensive plot. Luis Suarez is no longer a kid and the team has to find a replacement for him in the medium term.
Radio station 'SER' revealed this Tuesday that Barça has started to think about Alexander Isak if Lautaro's signing fails.
If the Argentinean's signing is not possible, Real Sociedad's talented Swede could become a priority.
It should be remembered that Isak has a buyout clause of 70 million euros in the Basque team, although Borussia Dortmund can still buy him back in 2021, 2022 or 2023 for just 30 million. However, if a team puts 70 million euros on the table before that date, Isak will be able to change his mind.
The striker is having a great season in San Sebastian, even though he struggled to adapt to La Liga. Isak is 20 years old and has already scored 14 goals in 34 official matches for Real Sociedad. But these are tricky figures, as he's only played 14 matches as a starter. He scores one goal every 109 minutes.
He is an attacker with a lot of mobility and an imposing physique, not exempt from technique and coordination. He was once compared to Ibrahimovic, but was unable to exploit his qualities at Borussia Dortmund, which Erling Haaland has done.
