Barça alert! Newcastle determined not to listen to any offers for Alexander Isak this summer

Alexander Isak continues to position himself as one of the most eye-catching forwards of the 2024-25 season. And why wouldn't he? The Solna native has already accumulated 23 goals and five assists in 33 appearances so far in the 2024-25 season, demonstrating a notable ability to lead the attack of Newcastle, especially in matches against 'top' teams, where he has shown his ability to step up and be decisive for his team.

The 25-year-old Swedish forward was instrumental in Newcastle's Carabao Cup victory, ending a 56-year drought without lifting a championship trophy by defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the final. In that match, Alexander Isak scored the goal that made the difference by 'poaching' a ball inside the box with a powerful shot from his right foot, showcasing his reputation as a box predator.

With a player of his abilities, a '9' with good aerial play, dynamism, and agility despite his imposing height of 1.92 meters, it's not surprising that FC Barcelona, among other clubs, is interested in his services. Especially considering his previous experience in LaLiga with Real Sociedad.

Newcastle's president doesn't want the 'Magpies' to part ways with Alexander Isak this summer

However, the wishes of FC Barcelona seem increasingly difficult to fulfill due to Newcastle's determination to retain the player as a fundamental part of their sports project. As reported in the English newspaper 'Daily Mail', the club's president, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, is delighted with Alexander Isak and has made it clear, amidst rumors of interest from several clubs in signing the striker, that they do not plan to sell him.

Indeed, as this information asserts, the sheikh has instructed the club's leadership to reject any offers for Alexander Isak. All of this after the team owner and governor of the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia found out that FC Barcelona scouts recently watched the goal scorer (during last week's 1-0 victory over West Ham), who is one of Joan Laporta's favorite options to strengthen the attack.

The English club might enhance the contractual terms of the Swedish '9'

Now we will have to see how this operation unfolds, as the intransigence of Newcastle in selling Alexander Isak next summer is already apparent. In fact, at this point, it is not ruled out that the 'Magpies', who apparently are not even considering a real price tag for the forward, could improve the current agreement of the 'Solna killer', who is currently under contract with the 'black and white' team until 2028, by increasing his salary terms. This would indeed make it a bit more challenging for FC Barcelona to sign him.
