Barcelona Moving for €150M-Rated Newcastle United Star ‘Practically Impossible’ Amid PSG Link | OneFootball

Newcastle United star Alexander Isak continues to generate buzz in the transfer market, and a recent report suggests he’s more likely to end up at PSG, Barcelona, or Real Madrid than with another Premier League side.

In April, TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey reported that Liverpool remain keen on signing Isak—especially after Mohamed Salah signed a new contract. From the beginning, the club’s strategy has been to keep Salah at Anfield while also targeting Isak, but that stance hasn’t changed.

Bailey also mentioned that Salah’s extension could make Liverpool a more attractive destination for Isak. With Virgil van Dijk staying put as well, the Reds are showing they’re serious about competing for major honors.

Still, Newcastle aren’t eager to part ways with their striker. It would take a massive offer to convince them, and not every interested club will pay that price.

According to MARCA, Isak is a top target for Barcelona. But with the 25-year-old reportedly valued at around €150 million, the Spanish club considers a move “practically impossible” at that price for him.

A previous report from The Telegraph revealed that Isak is more likely to move abroad than join one of Newcastle United’s Premier League rivals. The Swedish striker has been linked with both Arsenal and Liverpool, but manager Eddie Howe remains committed to keeping him at St James’ Park.

If Newcastle were ultimately forced to sell, clubs like PSG, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona would be seen as more likely landing spots than any team in England.

The Magpies currently hold a Champions League position for next season, but with only one point separating them from sixth-place Manchester City and two games remaining, missing out on a top-four finish could make retaining Isak more difficult.
