Barcelona identify two Premier League strikers as alternatives for Laporta’s dream target | OneFootball

Barcelona are already planning for the future as they search for a quality replacement for Robert Lewandowski and recent reports from England, via AS, suggest that while the club’s top priority remains Erling Haaland, they are also considering two alternatives.

The two potential targets for Barcelona in this scenario are Alexander Isak and Darwin Nunez. Both players have previous experience in Spanish football, which could work in the club’s favour.

However, signing either of these forwards would require a significant financial investment from Barcelona.

Despite Barcelona’s ongoing financial challenges, Haaland remains the ultimate goal for club president Joan Laporta.

The club has faced financial difficulties for several years, yet Laporta has not given up on his ambition to bring Haaland to Camp Nou, aiming for a potential transfer in the summer of 2025 or 2026.

Behind the scenes, he has been carefully developing a strategy to make this dream a reality. One of Barcelona’s key advantages in this pursuit is the strong relationship between Laporta and Haaland’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta.

The trust between the two parties could play a crucial role in advancing Barça’s ambitions.

However, given the enormous cost that would be involved in signing Haaland, Barcelona are also considering other options, which is where Isak and Nunez come into the picture.

Nunez has found himself out of favour at Liverpool, having made only four Premier League appearances this season. This lack of game time may make him a more attainable target for Barcelona.

On the other hand, Alexander Isak remains a key figure at Newcastle United, being one of their primary goal scorers. This could make luring him to Barcelona more challenging.

While Haaland is still the main target, Barcelona are wisely keeping their options open as they prepare for the future. The Blaugrana will need to weigh their financial situation carefully as they plot their next moves.
