Arsenal plot to hijack Barcelona’s move for €80m La Liga star
The Gunners hope to beat Barcelona in the transfer race for Real Sociedad attacker Alexander Isak.
The 22-year-old Swede prefers a move to Camp Nou. Barcelona are interested, having listed him as an alternative to No.1 summer target Erling Haaland. However, Isak has an €80 million release clause in his Real Sociedad contract – which could be a problem for the Catalan club.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have approached Isak’s entourage but hope to convince La Real to lower the forward’s release clause first. [Diario Sport – in Spanish]

In response to an alleged between manager Xavi Hernandez and Haaland, Laporta added: “That’s none of my business, but two sportsmen can talk about football, I suppose. The first thing we’d do is contact Borussia Dortmund, his club.”
