That’s according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, who claim the Bundesliga side are able to trigger a buy-back clause with a bid of just £25 million.
The quoted fee is dramatically smaller than the £60 million price-tag Real Sociedad have reportedly slapped on Isak, as per Noticias de Gipuzkoa.
Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea are credited with interest in the Sweden star in the above report, but the duo’s enthusiasm hinges on if the forward continues to impress at Euro 2020 this summer.
