MADRID JOINS RACE TO SIGN ISAK

Real Madrid have joined the race to sign AIK's young star Alexander Isak. Sources reveal the Spanish giants have held multiple meetings with player's club AIK.

Isak who is dubbed "the new Zlatan Ibrahimovic" by team mate Chinedu Obasi has also attracted the interest of French giants  Paris Saint-Germain who are also in talks with the player's club. Sources also revealed the Ligue 1 side are willing to pay €10 million for the player.

A source close to the 17-year-old confirmed to
ESPN FC that Premier League side Chelsea have tabled a firm offer for the striker and currently lead the race, but Real could be the next club to put in a bid with recent Italian reports suggesting Juventus had put in a €16m offer.

Real Madrid who have one potential advantage over their rivals in that the Spaniards built up a good relationship with AIK after signing Eero
Markkanen back in 2014.

The Finland international is now back at Friends Arena, playing alongside Isak, and could no doubt advise the Sweden under-21
international about a future move to the
Bernabeu.

Isak, of Eritrean heritage, scored 10 goals in 24
Allsvenskan appearances last and scouts from
Europe's biggest clubs have flocked to Solna to
watch him in action in recent months.
