Robert Lewandowski continues to be a key piece in Barcelona's attack, demonstrating that his scoring instinct remains intact despite being 36 years old. However, the reality of time passing is starting to influence the club's sports planning. In the search for a substitute who can guarantee a similar level of effectiveness, the name of Viktor Gyökeres has stood out on the Blaugrana's agenda. The Swedish forward has caught the attention of Barcelona's executives thanks to his impressive performance and ability to decisively finish.
Barcelona's Offer for Gyökeres
Last season, Gyökeres established himself as one of the most prolific attackers in Europe, achieving the astonishing figure of 43 goals in all competitions. This exceptional performance has catapulted him onto the radar of several top-level teams, and his pace has not slowed down. In the current season, the forward has scored 23 goals before the end of November, indicating that he is on track to surpass his previous records and positions him as one of the most lethal goal scorers in today's football landscape.
Barcelona is willing to invest significantly to ensure a Lewandowski-level replacement. The amount of 60 to 70 million euros that the Blaugrana plan to offer may, however, not be sufficient. The Portuguese club, owner of Gyökeres' rights, is aware of the value their star represents and would not negotiate for less than 100 million euros. This situation poses a significant financial challenge for the Catalan entity, which will need to assess if it can compete for the signing without jeopardizing its finances.
Gyökeres' potential and his ability to take on the role of offensive leader make him an ideal option to lead the attack in the near future. Therefore, Barcelona will closely monitor his progression, aware that the competition for his signature could intensify in the coming months.
