Barcelona reportedly eye Gyokeres as priority option to strengthen attack

Barcelona are reportedly targeting Viktor Gyokeres as a key addition to strengthen their attacking options. The Swedish striker has impressed with his performances, attracting interest from several top European clubs, including Barcelona.

The Catalan club sees Gyokeres as a potential long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is approaching the end of his career. Barcelona has been actively scouting for a dependable forward, with other names like Jonathan David also under consideration, but Gyokeres is said to be their primary focus.

However, securing Gyokeres could prove difficult. Sporting Lisbon, his current club, is well aware of the interest from major teams and is expected to demand a hefty transfer fee.

To land Gyokeres for next season, Barcelona may need to present a substantial financial offer. But given the club’s financial constraints, it’s uncertain whether such a deal will be feasible.

After a Barcelona fan described signing Gyokeres as “really risky,” the striker responded by scoring a hat-trick against Manchester City just hours later, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the situation.
