Real Madrid is anticipated to attempt to make one more acquisition before the summer transfer window ends in September, given that they have chosen to register Franco Mastantuono as a Castilla player. And while they are reportedly looking to add a new midfield player, a specialist number nine may end up joining them.
Although Gonzalo Garcia and Endrick Felipe are his only obvious alternatives, Xabi Alonso has occasionally used two forwards in games during the early phases of his Real Madrid coaching tenure. Despite preferring to play on the left side, Kylian Mbappe is extremely capable of playing as a nine, and the idea is for him to be the starting left winger, but that might change if a big-name striker is signed.
After going on strike against Newcastle United, another Premier League team, Alexander Isak, a former striker for Real Sociedad, has been heavily linked to a transfer to Liverpool this summer. Presenter Richard Keys of beIN SPORTS claims that the 25-year-old, who was previously connected to Barcelona this year, has suddenly become a target for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is believed to be tracking Alexander Isak
In response to Real Madrid’s interest in star striker Alexander Isak, Newcastle United has raised their asking price to more than £150 million, according to 90min. With 11 goals in 16 games this season, Isak has been playing really well and is still a vital member of Newcastle’s squad.
Isak still has more than three years left on his contract, so the club has no urgent need to sell and is reluctant to let him go. However, because of financial rules, they may take into account large offers.
Keys has stated that a new bid for £140 million is being prepared after Liverpool’s £110 million deal was turned down earlier in the summer. If so, in order to lure Isak to the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid would have to match this.
Although it’s unclear if Alonso would need Isak in his team, there’s no denying that he would be an incredible addition to Real Madrid. However, even if this were the case, at least one well-known player would be left out; thus, given Newcastle’s asking price, it might not be worthwhile for Real Madrid to enter the race.
