“Barcelona Eyes Isak as Top Transfer Target!”
Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has become Barcelona’s top transfer target, according to Mundo Deportivo. The red-hot striker, with seven goals in his last five games, is seen as a successor to Robert Lewandowski. However, Barcelona’s financial woes make a move difficult, with Newcastle demanding £100 million for the 25-year-old. Isak now ranks ahead of Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland on Barca’s wishlist.
Meanwhile, Gazzetta dello Sport reports AC Milan has overtaken Barcelona in the race for Marcus Rashford. Manchester United is open to a loan deal for the England star, but Barcelona would need to offload players like Ronald Araújo or Ansu Fati to clear financial space. Monaco is also in the mix for Rashford.
Chelsea is targeting Manchester United’s 19-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, valued at £60 million, per The Sun. With United needing to meet Premier League financial rules, Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho could be sold despite their long contracts.
Elsewhere, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are tracking Wolves midfielder João Gomes, as reported by The Sun. The 23-year-old Brazilian remains a hot prospect despite Wolves’ relegation battle, with the club pushing to extend his deal.
In another twist, Barcelona is also debating a move for AC Milan winger Rafael Leão, though concerns have been raised about his defensive contributions compared to similar-profiled Lamine Yamal.
