Barça is experiencing a great sporting moment since the start of 2025, maintaining their unbeaten record (the only ones in Europe to do so). In defense, Cubarsí has taken command and has established himself as the leader of the backline despite being 17 years old. In midfield, Pedri is shining again, showing that his quality and vision of the game are at the highest elite level.
In attack, the offensive trio continues to add goals and assists match after match. The forward line led by Robert Lewandowski has been key in the fight for titles this season. This, combined with Raphinha's great form and Lamine's definitive breakthrough, is making Barça a true steamroller.
Joan Laporta Seeks a Backup '9' for Lewandowski
Despite the good performance of the attack, FC Barcelona's president wants to strengthen for the next season. His goal is to find a substitute who can give the Pole a rest but still maintain that good dynamic. For this reason, Joan Laporta has already started making moves in the transfer market.
Joan Laporta sent his scouting network to the Premier League to closely follow an striker. The trip took place last weekend. The management is seriously considering his addition and wants to know all the details before taking the step.
Alexander Isak, the Forward Barça Wants
The footballer who has caught Joan Laporta's attention is Alexander Isak. His performance in the Premier League has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. This is the reason that pushed Barça's scouts to travel to England to watch the Newcastle-West Ham match live last weekend.
The Swede has accumulated great numbers this season, being a key piece in his team. His speed, technique, and goal-scoring instinct have made him Barça's number one target.
A Complicated Signing Due to His Price
The major obstacle to closing the deal is his high cost. Newcastle has valued Alexander Isak at 150M euros. Joan Laporta must study if the investment is viable while the scouts have followed his evolution and will analyze the options in the summer.
Isak Attracts the Attention of Europe's Giants
The conclusions of Barça's scouts are not yet known, but his great season has aroused the interest of other European giants. Barça will have competition if they decide to go for his signing. Laporta has already taken the first step, but the outcome is yet to be written.
