With Robert Lewandowski approaching his 36th birthday, the need for a long-term successor is becoming increasingly apparent. One name that has emerged on Barcelona’s radar is Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres.
The Swedish striker has captured the club’s attention with his impressive goal-scoring record of 43 goals and 15 assists. Barcelona’s scouts have been closely monitoring his performances, appreciating not only his prolificacy but also his versatility as a forward according to Sport.

Given Barcelona’s current financial constraints, acquiring a player of Gyokeres’ caliber would require careful financial planning.
Atletico Madrid have also expressed interest in the Swedish forward but have been deterred by the hefty price tag. As the transfer market evolves, the battle for Gyokeres’ signature is expected to intensify, with Barcelona potentially facing stiff competition from both domestic and foreign clubs.
