Isak: Barcelona's plan B if Lautaro move fails Barcelona Cheaper and younger alternative

Barcelona have identified Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak as their plan B should they fail to land Inter's Lautaro Martinez.

The Catalans are in the hunt for a new central striker and have been heavily linked with a move for Lautaro in recent weeks.

However, the move is anything but straight forward due to the Argentine's importance to the Italian club as well as his steep valuation.

Isak, who has impressed with La Real this season, would be a cheaper alternative and the Catalans are keen on a move should they be unsuccessful in their pursuit of Lautaro, according to Radio Barcelona.

However, the Swede's 70-million-euro release clause is seen as too expensive for Barcelona.

Borussia Dortmund sold Isak to Real Sociedad last summer and maintain a buy-back option for a fee of 30 million euros, though the player is not obligated to join if he doesn't wish to.

Isak has made 34 appearances for Real Sociedad this season and has scored 14 goals.
