Barcelona interested in signing Newcastle striker Alexander Isak as Xavi looks for long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski

Barcelona are reportedly keen on signing Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.

Fichajes claim Xavi is a big fan of the forward and he has been targeted as the club look to bolster their forward options.

They are also planning their long-term future with Robert Lewandowski now 35 years of age.

Signing Isak will be no easy task with the striker having signed for a club-record £63m last summer.

He has scored 12 goals in 31 matches but has had to compete with Callum Wilson for the starting role up front.
