Chelsea and Arsenal have been handed a blow in the pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak next summer.
The Blues and Gunners are aiming to strengthen their striking department and Isak has been identified as a top target for both.
However, they are not alone in the pursuit. Barcelona have now joined the race and he is the number one priority for them.
Isak had a decent career with Real Sociedad in La Liga and he has since developed leaps and bounds at Newcastle United.
The 25-year-old is prepared to push for a new challenge next summer and Champions League football is the main objective for him.
Arsenal and Chelsea have followed his progress for some time, but Barcelona are determined to bring him back to La Liga.
Isak will have three more years left on his Magpies contract next summer. He has already turned down the option to extend his stay.
Newcastle are likely to demand over £100m for his services.
