Barcelona are in dire need of a striker and they have known that ever since their dismissal of Luis Suarez. The now Atletico Madrid striker was let go of as he was not deemed young enough to play for the Catalans.

That was one of Ronald Koeman’s biggest mistakes and he has been trying to rectify that ever since. The Dutch manager tried to get Inter Milan striker, Lautaro Martinez, but the price was too high and they could not afford him.

After that, a deal for Memphis Depay was tried out but due to the failure of selling Ousmane Dembele, they did not have the funds required to buy Depay from Lyon either.

The entire season was played without a good first-team striker and Martin Braithwaite was not deemed good enough by Koeman.

Now he is searching for a striker who can replace the Uruguayan legend and here are five choices they could try for next season.

#1 Alexander Isak (Age: 21 | Club: Real Sociedad)

The 21-year-old striker from Real Sociedad is a great choice for longevity and the future. Isak is a great alternative for expensive options such as Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe and the striker has been getting a lot of goals as well. His decent tally of 13 goals in 28 league matches along with two assists has gotten the attention of Barcelona who are considering him as a cheaper option.

He has great ball control and can pull off a few nice tricks to beat the defenders. What he lacks in pace he makes up in skills and he has a good height as well to head in balls. He is a good option for the Catalans however, they will only consider Isak as a second-choice striker for now with Joan Laporta aiming for a big-name player to replace Suarez.
