Besides, how much do you think Sociedad would sell for? It would surely be 40m or more. Thats going towards the territory that if you can afford 40m for Isak, you might as well blow the bank on Haaland who offers absolute scoring guarantees.
There is a pretty big difference between 40m and 100m or whatever Haaland will go for. Also, don't know what wages Isak would demand but surely a lot lower than Haaland and Raiola.
I would love to be wrong and us sign Haaaland but just don't see it happening. So we should look for other options.
Barca falling into same trap of over rating La Liga and its players if look in direction of Isak.
Who would you suggest though?
If we have to choose between a player who is somewhat proven in La Liga, a player like Malen from Eredivisie (players scoring for fun there are a big hit and miss in better leagues and they can just as easily turn out into the next Suarez/Ibra as they can become Afonso Alves/Finnbogason/,...) or someone like Daka from a lower rated league (sure, Salzburg has great scouting and they develop good players but we can't know how he'd do in a better league) I would get the most proven player in a top league amongst them as long as their prices are at least somewhat comparable.
40m? i was thinking more like 25m at best in this environment. IF Sociedad paid 30m for him then there's no way id look at him for anything above that price.
Sociedad signed him for around 7m in 2019. Dortmund has a 30m buy back so that's what I think starting negotiation price for other clubs possibly interested in him would be.
And I think we could also use Larsson's influence to possibly bring him here.
