Alexander Isak\u2019s Real Sociedad contract, which has been renewed until 2026, eliminates Borussia Dortmund\u2019s previous buyout clause of \u20ac35 million.<\/a> It ensures the Swedish international is a Sociedad player unless a bigger, more worthy offer comes in for the forward. And make no mistake about it, there will be a day when that offer comes. It will likely present a sum simply too good for Sociedad to turn down as a smaller club.<\/p>\n

The fact is, Isak is on a path to enjoy incredible success, such is his always-improving forward play. At the age of 21, the Real Sociedad forward is already hitting numbers similar to that of a clinical striker. He is both Sweden and Sociedad\u2019s main man, scoring a total of 17 goals for his club last season.<\/p>\n

Isak Would Have Been on Dortmund\u2019s List of Haaland Replacements<\/h3>\n

Having just waved goodbye to Jadon Sancho for an initial fee of \u20ac90 million<\/a>, Dortmund are unlikely to let Erling Haaland<\/a> go in the same summer. Instead, similar to Sancho, the Norwegian will likely have one more season at the club before leaving. That gives the club a year to draw up a shortlist of potential replacements; a list Isak would have been on before his new contract eliminated the aforementioned buyout clause.<\/p>\n

Luckily for the forward, however, time is on his side. Alexander Isak\u2019s Real Sociedad career will likely come to an end one day; that big move will come. But, whilst still in Spain at such a young age, the Swedish international should develop even further. Sometimes, the key to reaching such great heights in football is patience. And Isak seems to have that in abundance.<\/p>\n

Whilst still wearing the famous blue and white of Sociedad, Isak will be hoping to propel his side into the top four after a fifth placed finish last campaign.<\/p>\n
