Real Madrid enter race to sign AIK striker Alexander Isak - source

Spanish giants Real Madrid have entered the race to sign teenage sensation Alexander Isak and have held multiple meetings with the Swedish club AIK, a source has told ESPN FC.

French champions Paris Saint-Germain are also in talks with the club over Isak -- dubbed the "new Zlatan Ibrahimovic" by teammate Chinedu Obasi -- but the Swedish side are looking for more than the €10 million the Ligue 1 giants were first willing to pay.

A source close to the 17-year-old confirmed to ESPN FC that Premier League side Chelsea have tabled a firm offer for the striker and currently lead the race, but Real could be the next club to put in a bid with recent Italian reports suggesting Juventus had put in a €16m offer.
