FC Barcelona faces the urgent need to strengthen its attacking line for the upcoming season... considering that Lewandowski is in the final years of his career. In this scenario, Hansi Flick considers the arrival of a new forward essential to guarantee goals and quality at the front of the attack, having a clear name in mind.
In this context, the name of Erling Haaland has emerged strongly as a possible solution. The Norwegian wants to leave Manchester City as soon as possible, however, the operation seems very complicated economically. This possibility is not entirely ruled out, but the reality is that Joan Laporta seems to have accepted Flick's proposed name with good grace.
Goodbye to Erling Haaland: Hansi Flick Asks to Sign Alexander Isak for 100 Million
With Erling Haaland practically ruled out, Alexander Isak, one of the great forwards of the Premier League, seems to have gained strength. At 25 years old, he has established himself as one of the best '9's on the planet at Newcastle and is an alternative that Hansi Flick likes a lot. The Swedish player's name has been heard a lot in the conversations within FC Barcelona.
According to Hansi Flick, Alexander Isak fits perfectly into FC Barcelona's philosophy and would be an addition that, besides goals, would bring a lot of quality to the offensive front. However, his transfer won't be easy at all, as his valuation reaches 100 million euros. This is the price Newcastle has set, according to the information published by El Nacional.
These 100 million could be paid thanks to the new sponsorship agreement with Nike, which has provided a significant boost to FC Barcelona's coffers. The operation could become a reality, although it seems highly complicated for next summer.
While Erling Haaland has been losing momentum in recent months due to his high price and salary, the possibility of Alexander Isak has more and more supporters at Barça. One of them is Hansi Flick, who has put this possibility on Joan Laporta's table: he likes it and it fits into his game plan.
The problem, as with everything lately at Barça, lies in its price: Alexander Isak is too expensive, although his price could be reduced by adding players to the operation.
