Real Madrid target Isak's passion for FC Barcelona

Real Madrid are expected to seal the signing of Alexander Isak in the coming days. The 17-year-old Swede will set them back 10m euros. A few days ago he was spotted checking out the installations at Valdebebas and some comments he has made in interviews are starting to come to light. 

Some of them are curious - and the conclusion is evident: Isak has a deep admiration for Barcelona.

The player says he admires La Liga and three players in particular, Messi, Neymar and Paul Pogba. He says when he was younger "I loved Ronaldo, Henry and Ronaldinho".

Barcelona decided not to move for him a few weeks ago because of his elevated price and the belief that his style would not fit the club's game.
