Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker has been heavily linked with a number of Europe’s top clubs in recent months.
According to Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are believed to be keen to sign a young striker during this summer’s transfer window. Ralf Rangnick has reportedly advised the club to attempt to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
Manchester United have, however, identified Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak as a potential transfer target as per The Daily Mail. The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal during the January transfer window. But the deal failed to materialize as the Gunners were unwilling to trigger his £75 million release clause.
Alexander Isak joined Real Sociedad from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2019. The striker immediately became an integral member of La Real’s squad during his first season with the Spanish club. He enjoyed a breakout campaign during the 2020-21 season, scoring 17 goals in 34 La Liga appearances.
Alexander Isak caught the attention of a number of Europe’s top clubs thanks to his impressive performances for Sweden at Euro 2020 last summer. Isak has scored eight goals in 27 appearances in all competitions for Real Sociedad this season.
Liverpool were reportedly interested in signing the forward, but the deal failed to materialize.
Manchester United are bracing themselves for the departure of Edinson Cavani next summer. The Uruguay international has less than six months left on his current deal with the club and is expected to run down his contract and become a free agent next summer.
The Red Devils have sent Anthony Martial away on loan to Sevilla until the end of the season. The Frenchman made just eight Premier League appearances for Manchester United prior to his January exit.
Martial had grown frustrated with the lack of playing time he received this season. He is expected to secure a permanent move away from Old Trafford next summer.The Premier League giants are therefore expected to sign a new striker during next summer’s transfer window
