Barcelona could be in for a big win this summer.
Viktor Gyokeres, one of Europe’s top strikers right now, might just be available at a reduced price.
According to SPORT, Sporting CP is ready to lower their previously steep demands for the Swedish star.
This opens up a new window of opportunity for Barcelona, who have had their eyes on the 26-year-old.
Gyokeres has been in sensational form this season, topping the scoring charts and attracting interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
His power, ball-carrying ability, and sharp finishing are qualities that would make him a great fit for Barcelona’s attack.
Up until now, his €100 million release clause has made a deal for him nearly impossible.
But the situation is changing.
Sporting CP, recognizing his loyalty in staying until the end of the season, is reportedly now willing to negotiate for a fee between €65 million and €80 million.
“Sporting CP are now open to lowering their previously rigid demands for the Swedish goal machine, offering renewed hope to the Catalans.”
This price reduction brings Gyokeres into reach for Barcelona, despite their financial constraints.
The club’s sporting director, Deco, knows that a world-class striker is essential for the team, and Gyokeres could be the answer.
But, here’s the catch.
Barcelona isn’t the only club interested.
Manchester United and Arsenal are also keeping a close eye on Gyokeres, and they have more financial freedom to make a move.
Plus, Barcelona is still considering Alexander Isak, which means they’ll have to choose between the two.
Isak’s La Liga experience and tactical flexibility might give him an edge, but Gyokeres’ form and potential are hard to ignore.
Ultimately, Barcelona’s ability to free up financial space will determine if they can pull off this deal.
With the club working on resolving financial matters, including the VIP seat revenue dispute, they still have a chance to bring in a top striker this summer.
