Barcelona eyes Alexander Isak as Liverpool assesses forward's future

Summary

Barcelona is considering a deal for Alexander Isak, currently with Liverpool, after a scouting trip during the FIFA World Cup. Isak's value has declined to around €85 million following a challenging season where he only scored four goals. Liverpool may be hesitant to let the 26-year-old go early in his six-year contract, particularly as he begins to regain form with a strong preseason. Barcelona is looking for a signal from Isak before making a move, aware that their financial flexibility has increased after offloading Robert Lewandowski's wages.
