Newcastle United have reportedly set a price tag of £83m for their star striker Alexander Isak, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal (Sport).
According to Spanish publication Sport, Newcastle have agreed to sell Isak if they receive an offer in excess of £83m in the summer. The Sweden international has been in sensational form for the Magpies this season, scoring 17 goals and providing five assists in 23 Premier League matches.
Isak’s impressive performances have caught the attention of several top clubs, including Arsenal, Barcelona, and Liverpool. However, Newcastle are determined to keep hold of their prized asset, unless they receive a substantial offer.
A report by Mundo Deportivo has confirmed Barcelona’s interest in Isak, with the Catalan club believing he would be the ideal signing to improve their squad. However, Barcelona are unlikely to meet Newcastle’s valuation, as they are currently unable to afford the £83m price tag.
Newcastle’s reluctance to sell Isak is understandable, given his importance to the team. The Magpies are still in contention for a Champions League spot, and Isak’s goalscoring form will be crucial in their quest for European qualification.
However, Isak’s future at Newcastle remains uncertain. The striker has reportedly told the club that he will demand a transfer in the summer if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. This has alerted several top clubs, who are monitoring the situation closely.
Meanwhile, another target for Manchester United, Viktor Gyokeres, seems destined to join the Red Devils. According to Mundo Deportivo, Gyokeres is likely to reunite with his former coach Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.
Gyokeres has been impressive for Sporting this season, scoring 15 goals in 20 league matches. His form has caught the attention of several top clubs, but Manchester United appear to be in pole position to sign him.
