Barcelona 'identify two alternatives to Erling Braut Haaland'

Barcelona have reportedly drawn up a two-man shortlist of alternatives to Erling Braut Haaland should they miss out on the Borussia Dortmund centre-forward this summer.

The Catalan giants are said to be firmly in the queue for Haaland despite their financial problems, with the Norway international thought to be keen on a move to Camp Nou.

However, according to ESPN, Xavi's side have identified two alternatives to the 21-year-old in the event that they lose out in the race for his signature.

The report claims that Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak and Ajax's Antony as viewed as possible targets for the Catalan outfit during this summer's transfer window.

Isak has scored eight goals and registered two assists in 26 appearances for Real Sociedad during the 2021-22 campaign, with the Sweden international said to have attracted a host of interest.

Meanwhile, Antony has scored nine times and registered seven assists in 22 appearances for Ajax this season, including seven goals and one assist in 16 outings in the Eredivisie.
