Alexander Isak’s past records.

The youngster left Borussia Dortmund for Real Sociedad in 2019, although he started his career at the Swedish side.

He put in 16 goals in all competitions in his debut season and tot it up the next season with 17 goals, scoring his first hat-trick in February against Deportivo Alaves.

Update on Alexander Isak’s negotiations

Isak is represented by the Universal Sport Group Agency, the same agency Luka Modric is represented by. This could give last year’s UEFA semi-finalist the bigger bread in the bid.

Isak says he is ready to take on bigger heights in his career, and a deal with Real Madrid could be a steppingstone.

A release clause of 59 million pounds is written into his contract at Sociedad, with the chief making talks of pushing this clause a little higher to retain the Swede.

Real Sociedad understands that if Europe’s heavyweights come requesting Isak’s signature, it would be difficult to keep him.

Arsenal, on one hand, has already contacted the starlet’s representatives, stating that they are all in for his transfer to the Emirates if he shows interest in moving.
