Paris Saint-Germain is entering a new phase in its summer rebuild, and the name taking center stage is Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker has made it clear he wants to leave Newcastle, and PSG has emerged as a serious contender. His potential arrival, however, could close the chapter on another long-rumored target: Rodrygo.
Isak, 25, is coming off a stellar season in the Premier League and fits the profile Luis Enrique is looking for—a technical, mobile striker who thrives in high pressing. The Athletic reports that PSG is monitoring the situation closely, and while Newcastle wants over €100 million, the Parisian club could fund the deal by offloading both Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos.
Rodrygo out of PSG’s plans
With Isak now the priority, Rodrygo’s chances of landing in Paris are fading fast. Although the Real Madrid forward has been linked to PSG throughout the summer, The Athletic reports he is no longer a target. The reason? His high cost and unclear role within the squad.
PSG’s focus has shifted. Rather than invest in a flexible winger like Rodrygo, the club is looking for a more traditional yet adaptable striker. Isak fits the bill perfectly. If he signs, Rodrygo’s path to Paris could be shut for good—leaving him either stuck at Madrid or forced to explore new opportunities elsewhere.
