PSG Prioritizes Isak, Arsenal Also Competing
Could PSG finally secure a true No. 9? This season, Luis Enrique has experimented with Dembélé and Doué as central forwards, but for next season, he’s seeking a world-class striker.
Gonçalo Ramos might either serve as a backup or be sold. According to sources, both PSG and Arsenal are targeting Alexander Isak, the Newcastle striker who has been in outstanding form in the Premier League.
Newcastle’s Champions League Hopes Could Block Transfer
Newcastle is competing for a Champions League spot, which makes them hesitant to sell Isak. The club has reportedly set a massive €180 million price tag, potentially making the Swedish striker the third-most expensive transfer in history.
While PSG has previously broken records with Neymar and Mbappé in 2017, Newcastle’s potential qualification for the UCL could complicate the deal.
However, if Newcastle fails to qualify, a lower fee might be negotiated. Still, both PSG and Arsenal are aware that securing Isak will come with a hefty price.
