BARCELONA have their eyes set on Newcastle striker Alexander Isak to replace veteran Robert Lewandowski, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Barca boss Xavi is said to be a big fan of the forward and is on the hunt to bolster his forward options.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, Xavi is currently planning for the club's long-term future without former Bayern Munich superstar Lewandowski.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old joined the Catalonian side last summer for \u00a338million after his record-breaking spell in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n
But the Spaniard is concerned the Polish striker's career may be coming to an end and is desperate to start searching for a replacement – and is keen on signing Isak.<\/p>\n
The report claims that Lewandowski's time at Barcelona isn't up just yet as the club will not be "making any serious moves for Isak until next summer."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The report adds that the Magpies would be looking for the same fee they paid if they part ways with the forward.<\/p>\n
For Xavi's side, this will be tough as the club is still in financial trouble.<\/p>\n
Isak, 23, made a name for himself while a Borussia Dortmund player on loan at Dutch side Willem II in 2019.<\/p>\n
He became the first player to ever score three penalties in a Dutch second-division match. <\/p>\n

I am. My goal is to finish the season in the best way, there is one game left and I said that I feel good here, I\u2019m very good.<\/p>\n "What happens is that nobody knows what will happen in the future.
