Barcelona joins the race for Gyokeres. Sporting striker Victor Gyokeres has emerged as one of the hottest properties around due to his goal scoring exploits for his club. After Zlatan Ibrahimovic he is the Swedish striker with this much craze.
A host of clubs have been linked with a move for the attacker, and the rumour mill has now decided Barcelona should be a part of the debate.
Diario Sport are talking about the possibility of Gyokeres potentially arriving as a replacement to Robert Lewandowski in a deal worth between €60-70m.
There’s a claim that Barca could give Vitor Roque as part of the deal as well as Francisco Trincao – as Barca have retained 50% of his rights and have a purchase option on the winger.
So, recently Barca is targeting 3 strikers. Erling Haaland, Viktor Gyokeres and Jonathan David. Erling Haaland looks so overpriced in his position and the next season his release clause is going to increase. City is also trying to renew Haaland’s contract.
If Haaland and Gyokeres deal somehow collapse, they will try for Jonathan David. Jonathan David is set to be one of the biggest names in the 2025 transfer market.
The Canadian’s contract with Lille expires at the end of the season and everything indicates that he will leave the club after five seasons. The club wants to keep, but the player would not have any intention of renewing and several of the continent’s big clubs are after him.
In this sense, FC Barcelona is thought to be one of the biggest interested parties in the player. His 12 goals and 2 assists in 17 games this season make him one of the ‘bargains’ of the next summer window, as he could sign for any club at zero cost, which is why the Catalan club is closely monitoring his situation.
Today is the UCL day. Both of the players are considered to start for their clubs. So, recent matches performance will be the meta for Barca to find Lewandowski replacement at the striker position.
